Originally announced in 2020, Chrono Odyssey is ambitiously aiming to redefine the MMORPG genre with its stunning graphics powered by the Unreal Engine 5, a high degree of freedom in a seamless open world and a dynamic combat system further powered by the concept of time and space.

In Chrono Odyssey, players will be able to choose between six distinct character classes—Swordsman, Paladin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Berserker and Assassin—whose unique combat styles and mechanics serve to facilitate both immersive roleplaying and co-op gameplay experiences within its breathtaking universe. 

At first glance, Setera may appear as a peaceful, beautiful land filled with nature. However, Setera is also now the frontlines of the war against the Void, which has been ongoing since the beginning of time. This land is filled with the dangers and chaos caused by twisted time and space and contradicting timelines. These same dangers provide countless mysteries and opportunities not afforded to any other world. Uncover the secrets behind Setera's timeline and find a way to save everyone —including yourself.

Combat is a thrilling experience that demands both unpredictability and control. Master the basics of attack, defense, dodge, and switch seamlessly between multiple weapons in real-time to gain the upper hand in battle. But be prepared for the unexpected – the enemy’s attack patterns are as varied as they are deadly, adding an extra layer of tension to each encounter. So stay on your toes, hone your skills, and embrace the excitement of combat.

Choose from six distinct classes – Swordsman, Ranger, Sorcerer, Paladin, Berserker, and Assassin – as you embark on your epic journey. And don’t forget to make your mark with character customization options like gender and appearance, allowing you to express your unique personality and create a personalized combat style that is truly your own.

Kakao Games and Chrono Studio announced that sign-ups for the Chrono Odyssey closed beta are live, with the limited-time PC closed beta event on Steam officially scheduled for this June.
