Aksys Games Announces Tristia: Chronicles Collection for Nintendo Switch Release in Spring 2026

Aksys Games has officially revealed plans to launch Tristia: Chronicles on the Nintendo Switch, targeting a Spring 2026 release window.

This announcement introduces an updated compilation of two acclaimed simulation titles—Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore—originally developed by respected Japanese studio Kogado Studio.

Since its inception, the Tristia series has carved a niche within the simulation and crafting game genre.

With the updated Tristia: Chronicles package, players can look forward to revisiting the scenic city of Tristia, famed in-game as the "Jewel of the Sea." Once thriving through maritime commerce, Tristia has succumbed to hardship following a series of devastating dragon attacks, leaving the city in desperate need of revitalization.

The narrative and gameplay center around Nanoca, a gifted crafter and inventor tasked with restoring Tristia to its former glory in the span of a single year.

Players must strategically utilize their creativity and resources to rejuvenate the city's infrastructure and reinvigorate its communities. Tristia: Restore enriches the collection by shifting focus to the daily management of Nanoca’s workshop, challenging players to juggle major crafting assignments while addressing a steady influx of requests from the city’s inhabitants.

Integral to the gameplay are engaging minigames that require players to gather essential materials, select optimal tools, and efficiently deliver finished products to the townspeople—all under the pressure of a tight timeline. The Tristia franchise initially gained recognition for its innovative blend of city restoration, time management, and simulation mechanics.

By combining both Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore into one cohesive package, Tristia: Chronicles offers newcomers and longtime fans a comprehensive experience tailored for the Nintendo Switch ecosystem.

The Switch’s portability and intuitive interface are expected to further enhance the collection’s strategic and creative gameplay elements. Aksys Games has a strong track record of localizing and publishing unique Japanese titles for a broader audience.

Their partnership with Kogado Studio on Tristia: Chronicles exemplifies their commitment to making acclaimed Japanese games accessible on global platforms.

The official announcement was accompanied by a trailer, giving fans an early glimpse of the enhanced visuals and consolidated features planned for the collection. With Tristia: Chronicles scheduled for release in Spring 2026, it marks another significant addition to the Nintendo Switch’s diverse lineup.

Players eager for more news and developments on Tristia: Chronicles and future Nintendo Switch titles can stay updated via official Nintendo Direct presentations and through the eShop.
