Alchemy Stars has opened pre-registrations, roughly a month since the closed beta ended. Curiously enough, at time of writing, a similar announcement was not made on the official Japanese Twitter account, though presumably it will just be a matter of time. You can check out the English Twitter here, as well as the official English site here.
As is usually the case, Alchemy Stars comes with pre-registrations milestones:
- 10,000: 3,500 x Nightium
- 100,000: 2 x Star Flare
- 200,000: 5 x Anonymous Gifts 1, Special Avatar
- 500,000: 8,000 x Nightium, 5 x Anonymous Gifts 2
- 1,000,000: 600 x Lumamber, Special Furniture
The currency given out with the pre-reg should be equivalent to 4 gacha pulls total, which is quite stingy, provided no changes were made.
In any case, it’s unusual enough that this game is likely to be made available to all territories simultaneously, a large undertaking no matter the title. If you haven’t seen our previous coverage, then check out:
The website and socials will gradually be updated, including a world overview and fan kit of art that will include official manga. The store page provides the following overview:
