Kane99 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 There is a new action MMORPG on the horizon with Chrono Odyssey from Npixel. It will release for the PC (Steam/Epic Games), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. No mention of a release date yet, but I imagine it will be announced soon. Check out the trailer that was released during GDC, looks fairly decent, but the trailer is mostly cinematic, doesn't really show any gameplay. You can find out more on the game here as well - https://chronoodyssey.com/#/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I'll admit, when I first heard of this, I thought Square-Enix was finally giving us a 3rd game in the Chrono series. Alas, It's not what I was hoping for. Game still looks interesting but I would've definitely used another name for it. 😛 It might be a game I wait for to go on sale and pick it up fairly cheap to give it a try.

Shagger Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) @Smokey has perfectly shown the issues with the name. It's like somebody just randomly picked out two overused gaming buzzwords to smash together. Why noy not "Shadow War" or "Origins Crusade". I've got a similar complaint about the way the game looks. The graphics look great and it is actually very pretty, but design wise it looks like somebody was trying to check of a list of popular tropes. We got dragon things, zombie things, demon things, wolf things, spider things, shields and swords, bows and arrows, men's armour covering everything, woman's armour covering almost nothing, campfires, horses, castles, it has the lot! I'm reminded of just about everything from Warframe to Skyrim, Bloodborne, Black Desert, The Last of Us, Dragon's Dogma, this list goes on. Whilst those are good games, that is not a good thing for Chrono Odyssey. This feels like a game developed by committee more than creativity. So it's clichéd in its name, it's clichéd in it's presentation, so I have no reason to believe it will be anything other than clichéd in every other way as well. And if this is FTP, then forget about it, it will be a greedy, soulless grind on top of all that. Edited March 22 by Shagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Honestly, I'm not impressed by what I just watched. It seems like another, go stop the demons from taking over our world kind of game - it looks like another generic RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Chrono Odyssey has really got my attention. It's an action MMORPG with a very unique art style and the fact that it has a rich storyline as well. I understand that the trailer might be mostly cinematic, but it's definitely got my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this, Chrono Odyssey's art style is indeed very unique and captivating. I like how it blend fantasy and sci-fi elements, along with the rich storyline. It's worth it.
