Peer into the past, act in the present, and watch as your choices dynamically change the future -- all on one screen as you play!

Modus Games revealed a brand-new trailer for Cris Tales that showcased an array of the allies that protagonist Crisbell will encounter on her journey across time.

Today’s video reintroduces us to Crisbell, a newly awoken time mage who is beginning to learn how to harness her powers. Other characters spotlighted are allies Willhelm, the voice of reason in the group, Chrisopher, Zas, and JKR-721, a fist-fighting robot. Of course, one can’t forget Matias, a wonderfully reliable talking frog!

Of course, there are a huge number of interesting characters in the game who we couldn’t fit into such a short trailer. We’re happy to announce the main voice cast for talent who has so graciously worked with us to make the world of Cris Tales come to life from Narim to St. Clarity and beyond!

Many, many other people will also be lending their voices for a number of characters that we can’t reveal to you quite yet, but here’s the main cast of people whose voices you’ll hear giving you quests, selling you their wares, and generally depending on you to make a difference in their world! Most all of these talented actors in the lists below lend their voices to a variety of other minor characters as well.

Kira Buckland in the role of Crisbell, a newly awoken time mage.

Other roles: 2B – NeiR: Automata | 2B, Talim – Soul Calibur VI | Falke – Street Fighter V | Hiyoko Saionji, Kirumi Toji – Danganronpa Series

Cris Bell is the main character of Cris Tales. She is a young orphan with a slim figure that is unaware of her latent powers as a time mage, until Matias the frog helps her unlock her abilities. She is able to see into the past and future, and can interact with both of them to change the present.

Cody Rock in the role of Matias, a talking and friendly frog.

Matias is a small, orange talking frog with a black top hat who meets Cris Bell at the beginning of the game. After stealing a rose from the garden Cris Bell is tending, he leads her to the Cathedral where she discovers Crystals of Time, granting her the power to control time. He will assist her party in various ways throughout the game.

Lindsey Vega in the role of Willhelm, the child mage.

Other roles: Zoe Avila – Ghostrunner

Wilhelm is Crisbell’s magic teacher who you will meet early on in the game. He looks like a child, but has a pretty remarkable level of skill and experience. He tends to be a bit sarcastic. He is well known in the city of Neva Tulira and is friends with many members of the Oroitz family, the most powerful family there.

Zeno Robinson in the role of Cristopher, a combat mage from St. Clarity.

Other roles: Deidoro Sakaki – My Hero Academia | Squares – Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 | The Underground – Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Christopher is a brave and heroic Mage Warrior that helps defend the Kingdom of Narim from Goblins. He fights with dual gauntlets that can be joined together to create a shield to defend against enemy attacks. His magical abilities allow him to conjure different elemental attacks such as fire and water that can be enhanced by Cris Bell’s time powers.

Lizzie Freeman in the role of Zas, a young nomad living in Cinder.

Other roles: Trish Una – Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure | Cardinal – Sword Art Online | Thrasir, Larcei – Fire Emblem Heroes | Lily – Dragalia Lost

Zas is upbeat, outgoing, and a bit of a wildcard. Cris Bell’s party will encounter her upon arriving in the Kingdom of Cinder, where she will aid the team with her explosive set of tools. She is instantly recognizable by her athletic build, dark apparel, and large green bag.

Daman Mills in the role of JKR-721, the android that protects Rainbow Lake.

Other roles: Frieza – Dragon Ball FighterZ | Titus – Borderlands 3 | N – Pokémon Masters | Galle – Fire Emblem Heroes | Lionheart – RWBY | Mustard – My Hero Academia

JKR-721, also known as K, is a mechanical android built to fight. His armor grants him the ability to charge and attack rapidly with a series of electrical attacks, assisted by a jetpack hidden underneath his coat. He exhibits a genuine curiosity about the world, and will join Cris Bell on her adventure.
