Arc of Alchemist is an upcoming tactical-action RPG title from Idea Factory International. Recently, its publisher has announced a delay in its official launch. Instead of this summer, we should expect Arc of Alchemist at some point this winter, on PS4. Check out the teaser trailer as below:

At the same time, the game would only be available in the NA region, digital-only, on PlayStation Network. Meanwhile, European gamers could still play the game from the retail version of it. Also, Arc of Alchemist will only feature Japanese voiceovers. This is a major setback from the original announcement, which included dual-audio support.
