Riyo Games' upcoming turn-based JRPG, Threads of Time, a nostalgic yet modern homage to classic titles like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, is coming to Xbox and PC!
Chrono Trigger-Inspired RPG "Threads of Time" Arrives on Xbox Series X/S and PC
PS5 and Switch Releases Pending
Unveiled at Tokyo Game Show 2024's Xbox showcase, Threads of Time is currently in development for Xbox Series X/S and Steam. While a release date remains unconfirmed, PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions haven't been ruled out.
Generating considerable pre-release buzz, Threads of Time is poised to compete with Sea of Stars as a spiritual successor to Square Enix's Chrono series. This retro-style RPG from indie developer Riyo Games blends classic charm with modern sensibilities.
"At Riyo Games, we're dedicated to creating retro-inspired RPGs that evoke cherished childhood memories," the studio stated in its announcement. "Our journey began with a childhood promise—two friends, playing RPGs by a CRT TV, vowing to one day craft epic adventures together."
Featuring vibrant 2.5D pixel art, Threads of Time follows a diverse cast of characters from various historical periods on a time-spanning adventure. The narrative jumps across eras, from dinosaurs to robots, culminating in a battle against a threat to the very fabric of time. Stunning anime cutscenes enhance the compelling storyline.
The party includes memorable characters like Rye, a swordsman from 1000 AD; Bo, a veterinarian from 12,000,000 BC; Rin, a kitsune from 2400 AD; and more. Add Threads of Time to your wishlist on the Xbox store and Steam today!
