A sunlit village with dinosaurs gives way to a neon-lit street in the images for Threads of Time. On October 28, developer Riyo Games and publisher Balor Games announced a summer 2027 release window for the time-travelling RPG, alongside newly confirmed Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 versions.
From dinosaurs to a distant future
The turn-based adventure sends a party of heroes across different eras, from the age of dinosaurs to a far-future world. Riyo describes the game as a quest to restore the Time Knights and protect the timeline.
A rain-soaked futuristic street offers a contrasting setting in the official press kit.

The two press images make that journey visible through colour and setting: warm gold light surrounds the prehistoric village, while cool blues, rain and neon define the futuristic street. Both scenes place small pixel-art figures within environments that have a strong sense of depth.

A party drawn from different times
The game combines 2.5D pixel art with turn-based battles and team combinations, according to the announcement. Characters recruited from different eras join the same party, connecting the changing locations to the people travelling through them.
Threads of Time is planned for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. The announcement gives a summer 2027 window, not a specific release date.
