Tecmo Koei has announced that Atlelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk will be released in Spring 2013 and it’s the same release window as GTA 5. However, it shouldn’t be a big issue since the target audience for both these games are completely different.
It will be released on March 8th across Europe exclusively for the PS3.
