Chrono Trigger-Inspired RPG "Threads of Time" Coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC

Riyo Games' upcoming 2.5D RPG, Threads of Time, a nostalgic homage to classic turn-based JRPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, is headed to Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. Revealed at the Xbox showcase during Tokyo Game Show 2024, the game's release date remains unannounced, as do potential releases on PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

The indie studio, Riyo Games, describes their vision as creating "retro-infused RPGs that awaken treasured childhood memories," born from a childhood promise to create fantastical adventures.

Players will meet a captivating ensemble, including Rye (a swordsman from 1000 AD), Bo (a veterinarian from 12,000,000 BC), Rin (a kitsune from 2400 AD), and more.
