Threads of Time Gameplay Reveal: A Journey Through the Ages at TGS2024

From an age where dinosaurs roam to the far-flung future and alternate realms in between, Threads of Time invites players to travel across distinct time periods and uncover the mysterious connections that bind them. This upcoming RPG from indie developer Riyo promises an epic tale of interwoven fates, where the secrets that shaped entire civilizations must be unearthed as players follow a sinister plot spanning the very fabric of time.

Last year, we reported on Threads of Time when the developers teased the project on their Twitter page, sparking excitement for its ambitious premise. Now, at Tokyo Game Show 2024, Riyo has finally dropped their long-awaited gameplay trailer, giving fans a deeper look at what’s to come.

The new footage showcases visually dynamic, strategic turn-based combat where players can bend time to their advantage, unravel enemies’ defenses, and execute devastating team combos. The combat, paired with an immersive storyline, promises a rich and engaging RPG experience.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Threads of Time impresses with its stunning 2.5D visuals, featuring vibrant environments and meticulous spritework. The inspiration from Chrono Trigger is evident, particularly in the time-travel mechanics and the colorful, imaginative worlds players will explore. It’s hard to believe this ambitious title is being brought to life by a team of just 31 developers.

With the gameplay trailer now live, it’s clear that Threads of Time is on track to become a standout in the RPG space. Take a look at the trailer below to see how Riyo’s latest creation is shaping up.
