XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Potionomics: Masterwork Edition on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles in Fall 2024. This expanded port of Voracious Games’ award-winning magical shop sim, which originally took the PC world by storm in 2022, is set to bubble up on consoles with all the post-launch updates and improvements released to date, plus exciting new features.
Potionomics: Masterwork Edition has already garnered a dedicated fan following on PC, with an 89% positive user review score on Steam. The game lets players step into the shoes of a potion brewer in the bustling town of Rafta, where the art of making potions is a flourishing business. With a charming cast of characters and immersive gameplay, Potionomics: Masterwork Edition is sure to enchant console gamers of all ages.
But that’s not all – XSEED Games has also announced a physical Limited Box Set for Potionomics: Masterwork Edition, which will be available for pre-order soon through the XSEED Games Store and other participating retailers. This special edition is priced at an MSRP of $49.99, and includes a copy of the game, a physical version of the original 120+ page digital artbook, a two-disc soundtrack featuring all 58 tracks from the original digital soundtrack along with new songs never before released, and a set of 12 trading cards showcasing brand-new character illustrations. Digital editions and availability details will be revealed at a later date.
In Potionomics: Masterwork Edition, players will need to perfect their potion-brewing craft and build a deck of haggling cards to make the most of each sale. The game’s lively economy is fueled by unique characters who will help players collect new recipes, elite ingredients, and even all-new cards for their deck. With the added content and features in the Masterwork Edition, including new voice acting, an endless gameplay mode, and additional difficulty levels, the magic of capitalism has never been more alive!
As Sylvia, a spunky and prideful protagonist, players will need to learn how to brew the best potions in Rafta and then market their wares to adventurers visiting their shop. Selling potions as a novice potion maker can be a daunting task, with negotiations playing out through a card-based system where players will seek to balance Sylvia’s stress levels while getting the most money they can for her wares. But worry not as many of these customers, including other shopkeepers, can be befriended for a range of benefits including learning advanced bargaining tactics.
Depending on how Sylvia plays her cards, some of these customers may become more than just friends. No matter what, Syvia will need to use all her knowledge and skills to make her shop THE number-one potion destination in Rafta!
But it’s not just about making potions; players will also need to negotiate with customers and manage their stress levels to succeed in Rafta’s competitive market. The game offers a variety of negotiation tactics, and players can even develop friendships with adventurers and other shopkeepers to learn more advanced techniques. With the right ingredients and strategy, even the most basic potions can be turned into extraordinary creations that will please even the pickiest customers.
Of course, no town is without its share of friends and foes, and Rafta is no exception. As players build their reputation and level up their potion game, they will encounter big RPG personalities seeking their own success. Some may be friendly and offer their help, while others may be a bit more cunning and require some convincing. Players will need to navigate these relationships as they aim for the top spot in the potion-making business.
But it’s not just about the business – players can also customize and decorate their shop to stand out in the competitive market. Not only will a well-decorated shop improve prices, but it can also enhance the quality of potions, making it a vital aspect of the game. With countless options for customization, players can truly make their shop their own.
And for those already enjoying Potionomics on PC, fear not – the new content and features of the Masterwork Edition will also be made available for the PC version simultaneously with the console releases.
So get ready to brew up a storm and immerse yourself in the magical world of Potionomics: Masterwork Edition. Stay tuned for more updates and mark your calendars for Fall 2024!
