With Chrono Odyssey an interesting MMORPG is in the works, which is set to appear on PC, next-gen consoles, and mobile devices. It looks stunning in the first trailer.
What exactly is Chrono Odyssey? The MMORPG comes from the Korean developer studio NPIXEL, which is also developing the online role-playing game Gran Saga, and puts you in the role of a member of a special unit called “Idraiginn”. This unit wages war against 12 gods.
You explore a vast world where many stories await you. These are intended to come to life with impressively realistic graphics.
The first trailer shows what to expect and makes a fantastic impression. However, it remains to be seen how much of it is actual gameplay. The Unreal Engine 4 is used.
What else does the MMORPG have to offer? Chrono Odyssey is said to feature a special job system that offers unique features. However, what those features are is not revealed in the game’s announcement. There are gigantic realm-versus-realm battles, and the fights are said to be fast-paced and action-packed.
The music comes from Cris Velasco, who contributed to the soundtracks for God of War and Resident Evil 7 and was also involved in the music for StarCraft and Overwatch.
There are MMORPGs in which players are not restricted to a single class and then develop that class into the endgame. Some games, such as Tree of Savior or Ragnarok Online, allow players to switch to so-called “jobs” over time.
These are subclasses or specializations that allow characters to develop in specific directions. This is then associated with new skills and abilities. Often, there are quite a few such jobs.
How the job system works in Chrono Odyssey is still unknown.
What is special about the project? NPIXEL explains that Chrono Odyssey goes beyond an MMORPG. Comics, novels, and a series based on the story are also planned. The entire project is therefore designed on a grand scale.
This is how players react to the trailer: On YouTube there are some interesting comments (some translated from Korean):
- 박준현 writes: “Hopefully it will be as good as the trailer!”
- 황금올리브 asks: “Can we have it on consoles in this quality?”
- 김영철 is excited: “Wow, that’s cool!”
- Leo jo says: “I need to sign up for the closed beta!”
- The Anime G says: “This looks so hot!”
- Jay Sabilla says: “This should have been the trailer for FF16!”
- 젤다의전설야생의숨결2 존버중 has a request: “Please let it not be a mobile game!”
Moreover, it is compared to Lost Ark in terms of graphic style, which is set to launch here in 2021.
When is the game set to start? There is no release date yet for the interesting MMORPG Chrono Odyssey. However, the testing phase is planned for 2021. The release is to take place on PC, next-gen consoles, and mobile devices. The development team states that graphics and UI will be adapted to each platform.
