The Atelier series[a] is a franchise of role-playing video games developed by Gust Corporation since 1997, primarily for the PlayStation line of consoles. Main entries in the series have seen consistent releases for Microsoft Windows since 2015 and the Nintendo Switch since 2017. New games are released in the series on an almost yearly basis. The series was solely released in Japan and Asia until 2005, after which the series has seen worldwide releases.

The franchise centers around the concept of an atelier specialising in alchemy; the gameplay involves finding, collecting, and combining items in recipes to create better items, which allows the player to advance further in the game. Most of the games tend to focus on female characters, something of which is rare among other Japanese role-playing franchises, while sometimes giving them strong characterizations at the same time. A few manga and two anime adaptations of titles from the series have been created so far. As of August 2023, the series has shipped more than 7.5 million units worldwide.[1]
