Gust Reveals 30th Anniversary Art by NOCO; Event, Campaign & Merchandise Announced

Developer Gust has shared new artwork celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary illustration. NOCO is the illustrator of this piece, known for her efforts as the character designer for Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book.

To further celebrate this milestone, the official Gust Twitter account is hosting a retweet campaign where 30 winners will receive various goods. This event will last until October 9, 2023. The included items seem to at least comprise several framed illustrations of Atelier franchise key art.

Additionally, a Gust 30th anniversary Premium Live will be held at KT Zepp Yokohama on January 14, 2024, with two shows: one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Given the choice of venue, it’s fair to assume that these will be music performances.

Lastly, the developer announced that they would sell anniversary and Halloween merchandise, with more details stated to arrive soon.

In a tangential avenue of anniversaries, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout received special fourth-anniversary artwork depicting protagonist Reisalin Stout alongside the protagonist of Atelier Judie: The Alchemist of Gramnad, Judith Volltone.

The Atelier Ryza trilogy has sold over two million units worldwide.
