Description
Riyo Games’ vision is to craft retro-infused RPGs that awaken treasured childhood memories. 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. That dream turned into Riyo Games, a Canadian studio full of passionate and seasoned developers with experience from Shovel Knight to Fortnite, from Deltarune to Tomb Raider.
They have all embarked on an epic quest to make Threads of Time, the studio’s first title, while aided by legendary developers and composers from Japan that have helped define Xenoblade Chronicles, the Mana series and more.
