Fans hoping for a third installment in the series will be interested to know that in Koei Tecmo’s recent livestream, which commemorated the million-sale milestone, there were hints of an Atelier Ryza 3 in the works. According to a translation from Gematsu, the panelists responded to a fan question, “Will there be an Atelier Ryza 3?” Character Designer Toridamono had the most interesting response:

Producer Junzo Hosoi recently told Siliconera that he is interested in making an Atelier Ryza 3, though it “depends on everyone’s support.” Hopefully, the recent sales numbers will serve as a good indication to the team that there is enough demand to justify a third game. Meanwhile, fans of the broader Atelier franchise can look forward to the Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack, launching on Nintendo Switch on April 22nd, 2021.
