The producer of Chrono Odyssey, Yoon Sang Tae, has revealed major insights into the game’s development and upcoming Closed Beta Test (CBT) slated for June 2025. In a new developer update video, alongside Kakao Games’ product manager Don Hudson, we got a deeper look into the lore, combat system, and the game-changing mechanics players will experience.
Set in the shattered realm of Setera, Chrono Odyssey blends dark fantasy with science fiction. Inspired by Chrono Trigger, Prometheus, and StarCraft, the game features a collapsing timeline where gods, humans, and the mysterious “Void” clash in a reality-bending narrative.
A standout innovation is the Chronotector — a time-manipulation mechanic that lets players alter events to counter disasters. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game world is both vast and surreal, filled with strange locations shaped by time distortion.
The beta will showcase both solo and co-op content. From intense solo challenges like Chrono Gate and puzzle-filled Trials, to 3-player Expedition Dungeons and massive battles against Region Bosses, players will explore content designed for strategy and teamwork. The open class and profession system lets players equip any weapon or craft without class restrictions.
Even peaceful players like gatherers and crafters can reach max level, reinforcing the idea that every playstyle matters. Community feedback from the beta will help fine-tune monster spawns, puzzle difficulty, combat balance, and more.
Looking ahead, Chrono Odyssey will expand with new regions, dungeons, and professions — all while refining the core experience based on player input. Get ready to manipulate time and reshape fate in one of the most ambitious MMORPGs on the horizon.
