Threads of Time, a captivating 2.5D RPG inspired by legendary titles such as Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, was unveiled at the Xbox showcase during Tokyo Game Show 2024. Developed by the indie studio Riyo Games, this game is currently in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. While an official release date is yet to be announced, there has been no confirmation regarding releases for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

Despite being a newly announced title, Threads of Time is already generating buzz as a potential rival to the acclaimed RPG Sea of Stars from 2023, aiming to be a spiritual successor to Square Enix's iconic Chrono series. As Riyo Games' debut title, it encapsulates a retro-style turn-based RPG experience that is sure to evoke cherished memories.

"Riyo Games’ vision is to craft retro-infused RPGs that awaken treasured childhood memories," the studio stated in their 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."

Alongside the pixel art, the game includes cutting-edge anime cutscenes that enrich the storytelling experience.

The game introduces a delightful 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.
