Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days. This is one busy week, a girl is saving her workshop in Atelier Ayesha, zombies are running rampant in Biohazard Chronicles HD, everyone is flocking into .hack Sekai No Mukou Ni and the butterflies is revived in Zero: Shinku no Chou.
The cute and comical Atelier series takes on a more serious tone in Atlier Ayesha. The game takes place in an era where Alchemy is coming to an end. Ayesha, an orphan girl sets off to search for her missing sister after her grandfather dies.
In her adventures, Ayesha can find several spots where she can synthesize items. The player can decide on a spot as her main base.
Pay extra attention to the item synthesis process. A different item can emerge even when you use the same ingredients. The cauldron and the order at which you add ingredients play a huge part. In this game, 2D drawing and the 3D models merge even closer together, giving gamers an anime experience during the event scenes.
Keep the workshop going in Atelier Ayesha. The Premium Box comes with an illustration frame and an illustration booklet:
Japanese versions
Asian version
Chinese versions
Venture into the dark alleys in the Biohazard Universe. The Umbrella Chronicles tells the stories that weren't touched upon in the original numbering series. Originally released on the Nintendo Wii, the games were sensations when they came out, with its intuitive controls and shake cameras.

The Limited Edition comes with the product code for Wesker's Extra Report and the Darkside Report:
Game Guide
Take a trip to the other side of the world. Bandai Namco Games packs the graphics, the plot twists and the fights into one single package. Sekai no Mukou ni + Versus Hybrid Pack contains both the newest movie in the .hack series and the first ever fighting game.
The movie tells the story of Sora, a girl who was introduced to the enchanting and dangerous game of The World. There, she grows closer to her two best friends, but before she has time to figure out her feelings for both boys, the eclipse starts. Gamers K.Oed in the game become unconscious in the real world, and Sora needs to muster all her courage and gaming skills to defeat the source of the eclipse.
The Versus fighting game lets players take control of the various characters in The World. With an arsenal of spectacular skills up their sleeves, these characters seek to find out everything behind the hacker attacks.
The Limited Edition comes with a poster collection, an artbook, and the .hack//Extension, and the Theatrical Version Script Book:

Until she is possessed.
