Kakao's Chrono Odyssey is generating excitement in the MMORPG genre with its upcoming release and aims to create a new trend in MMORPG design.
The game's localization for the western market will have no major differences from the Eastern version, focusing on global parity.
Chrono Odyssey's combat system draws inspiration from soulslike games, offering depth and accessibility to both action MMO veterans and tab-targeting players.
The team plans for a synchronized launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for a unified player experience.
Dynamic weather, seasons, and diurnal cycles in the game impact gameplay by influencing player interactions with the world.
Despite the trend of moving away from MMORPGs, Kakao is fully embracing the genre in Chrono Odyssey, focusing on cooperative gameplay and player interaction.
Chrono Odyssey offers unique features like exploration freedom, logic-based events, time travel quests, and special gameplay mechanics through the Chronotector.
Players can opt-out of PvP outside designated zones, ensuring that PvP content does not interfere with PvE-focused gameplay.
In addition to combat, players can engage in non-combat activities like crafting, cooking, treasure hunting, and adventure-oriented content in Labyrinth.
Interested players can register for the beta of Chrono Odyssey on Steam to experience the game firsthand.
