Gorgeous JRPG Cris Tales to receive limited run Collector's Edition

Modus Games today announced that its upcoming JRPG Cris Tales will be receiving a limited run Collector's Edition, which is now available for fans to pre-order through the Maximum Games Store.

I've played several hours of Cris Tales for a preview, and it is one of my most anticipated games for 2021. While at its core, Cris Tales is a JRPG, Cris Tales eschews the genre's usual anime trappings for a beautiful and unique animation style, drenched in visuals and culture drawn from developer Dreams Uncorporated's Columbian background. This focus on Colombian art, design, and culture makes Cris Tales feel completely unique in the video game market. Filtering JRPG gameplay through this rich cultural lens leaves Cris Tales feeling like nothing we’ve ever seen before in gaming – something utterly original, surprising and beautiful.

Cris Tales puts players in the role of Crisbell, a young woman with the ability to slip between time periods. This allows players to see environments as they exist in three different times, all simultaneously. The effect in motion is incredible, and allows for some unique and original gameplay concepts to be implemented. This game is a stunner, in all the right ways.

The Collector's Edition is available for Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S (via Smart Delivery). Retailing for $99.99, you will receive the following:

• Collector’s box
• An adorable Matias plush
• Lithographic art prints
• 3 character stickers
• Set of 4 enamel character pins
• A 60-page artbook
• 4 desktop wallpaper downloads
• 8 phone wallpaper downloads
• 10 character avatars

Cris Tales is scheduled to release in early 2021, though no specific date has been set. In addition to the platforms listed above, Cris Tales will be available on Google Stadia.
