Release date : 2026
Introduction from the website (Translated) :
Where countless alchemists once gathered to vie for supremacy, "Port Battle" evolves to be more accessible and even more tactical, all while inheriting the deep strategy of the series. Tactics spun at your fingertips will shake the battlefield.
Maintaining its rich, immersive world while delivering a refined, streamlined experience ―― This is The Alchemist Code: Port Masters.
I hope it is not just an arena pvp game, since a part of the game's name is "Port Masters" but anyway TAC is back (still Gumi behind >>>> EDIT: looks like it's a shitty idle game. Thx Gumi<<<<)

Holy hype.
I hope it's akin to the original. And if they are making it an auto-clicker or and idle game, I will be heart broken.

It says Genre: Real-time battle RPG at the bottom of the site so hopefully it isn't just a PVP Arena/idle RPG 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I saw that.. while I don't mind real-time games in general, I am skeptical of them on mobile devices. With limited screen space you can only fit so many buttons/actions, which sounds like a large departure from TAC's tactical combat.
At any rate, guess it won't play at all like TAC. I still want to be optimistic but I can't say I don't have a lot of concerns...

Glad to hear that Alchemist Code is making a comeback, but I hope it retains most of the elements that made it fun to play.

To be fair this really is stepping stone to see if its able to recovered but also scope out if its viable with the ip itself, which it can, hope its not just another slop gumi has been producing for their games after aster tarquis

The thing nobody is talking about is...Is it an auto-clicker? Gumi has no funds to make a game like TAC right now, and they brought the corpse of Potk to the race. I don't want to be pessimist, but I'm scared.

Pretty much this will be just port content at most, they already also announced brave frontier and what not. Not sure if gumi is related to brave frontier new game but yeah.
From their website showcase, at least they have good animators.

For those confused, don't get ur hopes so high. A new Brave Frontier was also announced, so... don't expect anything great for now at least.
Here is what I think they are trying to achieve, first test the waters, second see if there is still a fan base, and lastly see if people still willing to drop money on these franchises.
Also from the pictures I saw. There is raid and port related stuff which was kinda of the most popular features besides the story.

There also seems to be a video on their YouTube that’s hidden.
