Gust and Koei Tecmo have announced a Blue Reflection anniversary live stream for March 27 at 20:00 JST (4 AM PT / 7 AM ET).
Even though I haven’t made much progress on the Atelier series, I’ve played and love Blue Reflection.
The first game has definite flaws, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
Its sequel, Blue Reflection: Second Light, lost the unique feel the original had but otherwise was a huge improvement in every way, and I really loved it.
(In fact, although it didn’t make my top 5, I gave it an honorable mention amongst the best games I played in 2021.)
And while the anime that takes place between the games wasn’t amazing, I still enjoyed it.
There was also a mobile game in Japan, but… it wasn’t very popular, and it got shut down after about a year.
They haven’t said anything about announcing a new game during this live stream, just about looking back at the series, but I have my fingers crossed. I would love a third Blue Reflection game, especially if they build on what they did in Second Light.
Have you played the Blue Reflection series? Do you think they’ll announce a new game?
