Two extra video games impressed by Chrono Set off have additionally lately been introduced: Threads of Time is a non secular successor from Canadian studio Riyo Video games; and Fringe of Eternity from Montpellier-based Studio Midgar blends RPG mechanics with French animation, and in addition consists of music from Mitsuda.
