Unsung Story is an upcoming tactical role-playing game developed by Little Orbit. The game was announced via the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter in early 2014 by developer Playdek, and originally marketed as being under the creative direction of Yasumi Matsuno. The game is meant to be a spiritual successor of Final Fantasy Tactics (1997), a game he directed.[1][2]

In February 2016, Playdek announced that development had been stopped for lack of resources.[3][4] In early 2017, Playdek announced that Little Orbit would continue the game's development in their place, with Little Orbit buying all of the rights and assets.[5][6][7] Unsung Story was released in early access for Microsoft Windows on December 17, 2020, with the full version in development for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[8]

In 2021, Matthew Scott of Little Orbit shared to Kickstarter that Matsuno not been involved with day-to-day development of the game since 2018, and felt uncomfortable with his name being used in connection with the game. As a result, Little Orbit stopped using his name in the game's marketing.[9]
