New MMORPG on Steam gets one of the most important comfort features ever, currently costs no more than 2 Euros

It is time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG News in two Minutes”. We summarize the most important news around the best genre in the world. Look forward to a lot of new information about Chrono Odyssey, a strong MMO launch, innovations for WoW and much more.

The highlights of the week:

The Quinfall is currently not only particularly affordable on Steam (€1.95), but also continues to receive new content from the developers. Freshly announced: the Party Finder as an important support to find players for groups, as well as the battlefield event Zenith Conquest. You can find the details on Steam.
The past days were clearly all about Chrono Odyssey. First, there was detailed information from the developers about the MMORPG, and YouTube Shorts about some of the classes.
Executive Producer Sangtae Yoon was also available for interviews and explained among other things, why Asian MMORPGs currently place such a strong focus on PvE content.
Our MMORPG enthusiast Karsten Scholz is very pleased that the new gameplay looks so good: I was skeptical about whether Chrono Odyssey could impress, now I am even more excited about the MMORPG. Also, many players celebrate the developers’ recent presentation.
The play reports of various streamers and YouTubers also show that there is still a lot of work to be done before the release.
The developers of Chrono Odyssey not only released a new trailer at the Summer Game Fest 2025, but also revealed in detail when the closed beta is supposed to take place and how to increase your chances for an invitation.

What else has happened? Dune: Awakening is not a true MMORPG but the undoubtedly most exciting release for genre fans due to its MMO elements. All the more so because the game is received very well by buyers and testers at launch. All information about the launch of Dune: Awakening can be found in our overview. Our topic page is already full of helpful guides.
