Cris Tales Delayed to 2021

Modus Games announced today that the upcoming JRPG Cris Tales, which we previewed at PAX Online last month, has been delayed from November 2020 to early 2021.

This pushback will be effective for all platforms, current and next gen, and was a very difficult decision to make, according to company CEO Christina Seelye:

“The decision to delay was a tough one, but was made to ensure that the developers at Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK have a chance to bring the best version of Cris Tales to fans anxiously awaiting its release.”

Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK also chimed in on the delay, with CEO Carlos Rocha Silva explaining a bit more behind the delay:

“To every Cris Tales fan, thank you for the interest in our game. We began development in 2014 and we hope it’s more than clear to all of you that this is a labor of love for us. Much of the team here became friends by believing in what we thought might be an impossible dream – the dream to create a video game that is both an homage to the golden age of JRPGs and also a completely innovative experience within the genre. We never believed that Cris Tales would reach an audience so big and diverse, and that people were going to love the dream and game as much as we do.

That is why we want to tell everyone who is eager for the release of Cris Tales that along with Modus Games we have made the difficult decision of postponing the release date of Cris Tales from November 17, 2020 to sometime in early 2021.

We are a very small video game development studio located in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia. Cris Tales is the biggest project we have ever worked on, and we want to get it right. As you probably know, most areas and people in the game must be created at least three times, if not more to show the different past, present and futures. So, in a way, it’s like developing three different video games at the same time. Three video games that must be impeccable so that we can deliver all the magic we have in our soul to all of you. We want to make sure to earn all the love you’ve all shown in our events, demos, previews and so much more.”

If you’ve pre-ordered the game or plan to do so via retail, however, you’ll now receive a bonus poster as  a thank you gift.
