When it comes to the most exciting and ambitious MMORPGs of 2025, Chrono Odyssey must not be missed. After a long silence, there is finally a sign of life from the developers.
What kind of sign of life is it? Based on information from the regular financial reports from the publisher Kakao Games, we still assume that Chrono Odyssey is supposed to be released in 2025 for PC and consoles. For this to work, the team from Chrono Studio needs to get moving, start larger tests, and kick off the PR machinery.
And indeed, there are now two signs of life from the MMORPG after a long silence. On the one hand, the YouTuber Kanon, who loves to dive into online role-playing games, has received permission from the developers to confirm two things in his new video on YouTube:
- Yes, he was allowed to play the new MMORPG from Kakao Games and Chrono Studio.
- Chrono Odyssey is supposed to be released “very soon”.
All other details are likely still under a confidentiality agreement (short: NDA). On the other hand, there was a new developer post on Steam for the first time since August 2024. Since this is marked “#1”, further updates should follow in the coming weeks and months.

The Time is Coming Soon
What do the developers reveal? In February 2025, a focus group test for Chrono Odyssey was conducted again. It should have helped to further optimize the finishing touches and uncover one or two issues. The average playtime of the testers was apparently 680 minutes.
As Kanon explains, the developers also state that “very soon” it will be time to finally present Chrono Odyssey in detail. The next update is supposed to bring “exciting news”. MeinMMO will of course keep you updated.
What do I need to know about Chrono Odyssey? The project was first announced in late 2020. About 120 developers are working on the game. The core features of the action MMORPG are as follows:
- The world of Setera is supposed to be not only large, seamless, diverse, and open, but also constantly changing – for example, due to the seasons and weather events.
- The changes are triggered by time travel, as you can switch between the past, present, and future. The transition is supposed to happen seamlessly in the game world – similar to the travel between the two worlds in Lords of the Fallen from 2023.
- In Chrono Odyssey, you can choose between six combat classes: Paladin, Swordsman, Berserker, Assassin, Ranger, and Sorceress. Each class is supposed to have multiple weapon types available that you can freely switch between in combat.
- In combat, regardless of your class choice, you can manipulate space and time with the so-called Chronoprotector.
- Thanks to the numerous customization options of the character creation system, player characters and NPCs are supposed to look as individual and unique as possible.
- The developers promise dungeon and raid challenges. There should also be PvP content.
- There will be gathering and crafting activities. You can take on tasks like harvesting, logging, mining, and skinning. The resources can be processed into equipment and consumables.
- Based on the previous trailers, Chrono Odyssey is likely to be one of the most beautiful MMORPGs of the coming years.
In addition to Chrono Odyssey, several other MMORPGs are set to be released this year. Other exciting online role-playing games, however, won’t go live until at least 2026 or later.
