''Ciconia no Naku Koro ni'' (''Ciconia: When They Cry''), also called ''When They Cry 5'', is the third official installment in the ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'' franchise by [=07th=] Expansion [[note]]not counting the short manga ''Manga/HotarubiNoTomoruKoroNi''[[/note]], set to be released October 4th, 2019 − 9 whole years after the previous entry and the same day as the events of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''.
While ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' and ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' were horror-mystery stories set in the not-too-distant past, ''Ciconia'' takes place in a {{cyberpunk}} setting, long after humanity witnessed WorldWarIII 100 years ago. In order to preserve world peace, several ChildSoldiers were selected to undergo special training to make them wear the finest weaponry of their time: the Gauntlet, [[OneManArmy which is stated to make its wielder as strong as an army, capable of fighting off tanks and ships.]]
To be selected as a candidate for the training is already a huge challenge in itself, and the few people who actually obtain the right to wield Gauntlets are even smaller, who are aptly named Gauntlet Knights. And so, all of these young soldiers were given the huge responsability of fighting for their country, and perhaps even influencing the future of their world forever.
All of the Gauntlet Knights competed against each other in the past in an event known as the International Battle Standard Festival, and quickly became friends, and all of them vowed themselves to continue fighting for world peace. However, [[WorldWarWhatever World War IV]] is approaching while the next Battle Standard Festival is about to begin...
These young ones are ultimately pawns in a larger game controlled by a many individuals and players. From now on, the future will decide if they will destroy each other as pieces, wage war, or preserving peace once more. Furthermore, there seems to be greater forces behind all of this...
The usual team will return, with regulars like Dai and Xaki composing the music and [=Ryuukishi07=] writing the story and drawing the character sprites in his amateurish artstyle fans have come to know and love. The English translation will be officially handled by Witch Hunt, the team who already translated ''Umineko'' and ''VisualNovel/RoseGunsDays''.

!! ''Ciconia no Naku Koro ni'' features the following tropes:
* CastOfSnowflakes: All of the cast have a distinctive costume to easily differentiate them from each other.
* FiveTokenBand: Many of the Squad participating in the Battle Standard Festival come from different ethnicities.
* JustBeforeTheEnd: ''Ciconia'' takes place right before World War IV is about to start.
* MythologyGag: The opening movie of ''Ciconia'' shows, besides the Gauntlet Knights, three characters which are clearly expies of Jiro Tomitake, Tetsuro Okonogi, and Miyo Takano from VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry. Given the series affinity for using expies, this is to be expected.
* SpeakingSimlish: The military communication in the teaser is delivered in this manner… except for the main character's name.
* UnwittingPawn: All of the Gauntlet Knights.
* WorldOfBadass: The story involves the Gauntlet Knights, who are stated to be as strong as an army.

What are the rules of the game, you ask? How hard is it? That's for us to decide, so it's none of your concern.\\
All you people need to do is take pieces and get taken yourselves, entertaining us with the range of your emotions.\\
Are you listening? You don't want to misunderstand your position.\\
You aren't my opponent. You're merely a piece that exists for my amusement.\\
