Exciting News for RPG Fans

The gaming world is abuzz with excitement as Edia Co., Ltd. announces the release of the highly anticipated 'ARETHA COLLECTION 1993-1995' for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, scheduled to launch on July 30, 2026. Pre-orders are currently open, allowing fans to secure their copies early.

A Glimpse into the ARETHA Series

The 'ARETHA' series, which captivated audiences from 1990 to 1995, is celebrated for its unique approach to storytelling, featuring a female protagonist—a rarity for RPGs of that era. The series has a total of six titles, each contributing to an engaging fantasy narrative centered on the character Ariel, who is destined to carry a great burden.

Ariel's adventures are accompanied by an array of vibrant characters, including Fang, a special dragon born from an egg gifted to her in childhood, and a magical doll that plays a crucial role throughout the series.

Known for its innovative gameplay, the series introduced a variety of systems including the 'Consultation System,' which allows characters to discuss strategies and hints, along with hidden features that can instantly elevate a character's level.

What to Expect from ARETHA COLLECTION 1993-1995

The upcoming collection is a tribute to the 35th anniversary of the 'ARETHA' franchise, integrating three iconic titles into one exquisite package. Gamers can delve into:
1. ARETHA the SUPER FAMICOM (1993): This title follows Ariel as she embarks on a quest influenced by fate, unaware that the dark forces pursuing her are linked to her mystical ring.
2. ARETHA II: Ariel's Magical Journey (1994): Set a year after a fierce conflict, Ariel strives to rebuild the ARETHA Kingdom but finds herself drawn back into adventure when she receives an urgent message from her doll companion.
3. Rejoice: Beyond the ARETHA Kingdom (1995): When a mischievous gang in the town of Ish acts upon a dubious scheme inspired by an old man, chaos ensues, leading to a major crisis that entangles them and their community.
