Threads of Time PS5 and Switch Release Unconfirmed

This newly announced game is poised to challenge the success of 2023's beloved RPG, Sea of Stars, as a spiritual successor to Square Enix's iconic Chrono series. Threads of Time marks Riyo Games' debut into the retro-style RPG genre, aiming to evoke cherished childhood memories.

"Riyo Games’ vision is to craft retro-infused RPGs that awaken treasured childhood memories," the studio stated in its press release. "It all started with a promise between two kids, huddled next to their CRT TV playing RPGs after school, to one day create fantastical, story-rich adventures together."

Threads of Time features stunning 2.5D pixel art and immerses players in the journeys of a diverse cast of characters from various time periods. The narrative spans centuries, from the age of dinosaurs to the era of mechanical robots, leading players to unravel a sinister plot that threatens the very fabric of time. Alongside the pixel art, the game includes cutting-edge anime cutscenes that enhance the storytelling experience.

The game introduces a captivating roster of party members, including Rye, a mysterious young swordsman from 1000 AD; Bo, a skilled veterinarian from 12,000,000 BC; and Rin, a blade-wielding kitsune from 2400 AD, among others. For those eager to stay updated, Threads of Time is now available for wishlisting on the Xbox store and Steam.
