Threads of Time PS5 and Switch Release Unconfirmed

This newly announced game is poised to be a formidable contender against the beloved RPG, Sea of Stars, and is seen as a spiritual successor to the iconic Chrono series by Square Enix. Threads of Time marks Riyo Games' debut into retro-style RPGs, infusing the game with a nostalgia that resonates deeply with fans.

"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 immerses players in a vibrant world of 2.5D pixel art, where they control a diverse cast of characters traversing different epochs on an epic adventure. The narrative weaves through time, from the age of dinosaurs to the era of mechanical robots, as players unravel a sinister plot threatening the very fabric of time. Alongside its pixel art, the game boasts cutting-edge anime cutscenes that enrich the intricate storyline.

The game introduces a charming array 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. Fans eager to follow the journey can now wishlist Threads of Time on the Xbox store and Steam.
