Ciconia no Naku Koro ni

Ciconia no Naku Koro ni ( キコニアのなく頃に ), also known as When They Cry 5, is the upcoming installment of the When They Cry franchise written by Ryukishi07 and produced by 07th Expansion. Unlike the previous When They Cry works, Ciconia no Naku Koro ni is said to take place in a more open environment, a departure from the isolated locations of Hinamizawa and Rokkenjima.

Development
The game was first announced by 07th Expansion on December 30, 2016. Concurrent with the 07th Expansion Party "5" event on April 1, 2017, the official 07th Expansion website was updated with a teaser image depicting the Dubai skyline with a feather in the foreground.

On November 29, 2018, 07th Expansion delayed the release date to the summer of 2019 and released a teaser trailer revealing the official name Ciconia no Naku Koro ni. At Sakura-Con 2019, Ryukishi07 and video game publisher MangaGamer announced that they would release the game for Microsoft Windows, simultaneously in English and Japanese, coinciding with Summer Comiket 2019 on August 9, 2019.
