Chrono Trigger writer and Chrono Cross director Masato Kato is back with a new turn-based game, but he couldn't help himself, this one also has a badass sword-wielding frog in your party.

Another Eden Begins was announced at yesterday's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase as the next project from lead developer Masato Kato (who has credits on too many JRPG classics to name) and composer Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenogears, Chrono Cross), coming to PC, Switch and Switch 2 sometime this summer.

If the name sounds familiar, that's because Another Eden has actually been around for years in the form of a free-to-play time-travelling RPG with a very similar look. (It's one of the 112 games to collab with Persona 5, if that helps whittle it down at all.) Another Eden Begins seems to be the next step in the "timespace-bending multiverse," this time with 18 companions, full English voiceover, revamped combat, and much more.

Developer Wright Flyer Studios says the game has a branching narrative "where New Game+ content invites a new character into the main story, opening up multiple narrative threads leading to ten different endings."

I'm all for another time-travelling Masato Kato joint, especially one that'll have you throwing it down with an almost extinct dino boss one second and then running through a sci-fi utopia the next. The super cool frog doesn't hurt, either.

"Aldo and his younger sister, Feinne, enjoy a peaceful life in the idyllic village of Baruoki, until one day, when Feinne is taken by the Beast King. Aldo pursues them into the Moonlight Forest, but following a fierce battle with a beast, he is sent through a tear in spacetime—and finds himself in a world 800 years in the future," is the hook, according to its Steam page.
