Tristia: Chronicles:
Release Date: 17th September 2026
Platform: Nintendo Switch
About: An upcoming bundle for the Nintendo Switch that combines two popular invention shop simulation games by Kogado Studio: Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore. The collection follows the adventures of genius young inventor Nanoca Flanka as she works to revitalize the floundering marine city of Tristia.
Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore are together in one updated collection! The beautiful city of Tristia, nicknamed the “Jewel of the Sea,” has bustled with maritime trade until recent dragon attacks stripped the city of its charm, and the people are resigned to its state of decay. In this town building simulation game, you play as crafter-inventor Nanoca who has been challenged to restore the city within a year. Will Tristia regain its former vibrancy or will it remain in disrepair? Everything depends on your hard work.
Tristia: Restore takes place alongside Tristia: Legacy, but focuses on the day-to-day running of Nanoca’s shop. She has some major crafting projects to complete, but while she works to finish them, a constant barrage of requests pour in. In this action game, quickness counts as you gather your materials, choose the right equipment, and deliver completed items to the townsfolk. Can you accomplish everything before time runs out?
Further details about each of these titles will be available through official Aksys Games channels (such as the official website) and additional release details will be confirmed at a later date.
