The first detailed presentation of Chrono Odyssey is exciting. Many genre fans are even more looking forward to the launch after the shown scenes. However, there is one detail that is not well received.
What was shown? With a video lasting more than 20 minutes, the developers of Chrono Studio have presented their new MMORPG Chrono Odyssey in detail for the first time and also showed new scenes from the game.
There are regions from the game world, character selection and creation, battles, menus, time manipulations, various activities, and much more to see. The setting strongly resembles dark fantasy RPGs like Lords of the Fallen. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, the video promises a visual fireworks display.
Below you will find the trailer for Chrono Odyssey, which prepares you for the upcoming beta in June:
“I am excited … let’s go”
How did the community like the video? The new impressions and information about Chrono Odyssey are definitely causing a stir online. Many streamers have already reacted to the video. On Reddit, there are several discussions on the topic, and of course, there is also extensive discussion under the developer interview.
In our impression, the developers have managed to ignite the anticipation for the biggest and most beautiful new MMORPG 2025 among many players.
- Games-storage writes on Reddit: “Looks like New World on steroids.”
- ಠ_ಠ-ಲ6ಬ also draws the comparison to the Amazon MMORPG on YouTube: “I must admit, this looks much better than I initially imagined the combat would be. It looks like they took inspiration from New World regarding weapon swapping and targeting.”
- magic_zarap writes on YouTube: “This looks like a better version of New World and I love New World. I am excited … let’s go”
- chansteven1480 celebrates the visual splendor on YouTube: “I have been playing MMOs for over 30 years and have never seen such amazing graphics in an MMORPG!”
- NivinyaFate summarizes his impression on YouTube: “This sounds more and more like the MMORPG I’ve been wishing for so long. I still have to play it, but the aesthetics and concepts being integrated into the game seem to be exactly what I wanted, but no MMORPG has even come close to achieving it.”
However, there are also players who seem to be particularly bothered by one thing: the weapon swapping in combat. Blepple writes on Reddit: “The weapon swapping is disappointing, it’s never been fun for me.” Matt_37 agrees in his response: “I hate it, this info alone has killed all the hype for me.”
linkfox goes into this further in his comment on Reddit: “In my experience, every game that features weapon swapping ends up being a skill spam fest. You literally use all of your weapon cooldowns, switch it and then use them all again. Guild Wars 2 is better in this regard, but I wasn’t a fan of that system either.”
How did you like the presentation of Chrono Odyssey? Can you understand the criticism regarding the weapon swapping? Let us know in the comments! At least in Asia, another big MMORPG is supposed to be released in 2025, namely Aion 2. It also looks great in trailers, but raises concerns: The next big MMORPG for PvE fans sends players back to the good old days and begs: “Please don’t ruin my memories.”
