The wait is nearly over for a highly anticipated MMORPG, Chrono Odyssey. As revealed during the Summer Game Fest, the title is all geared up for its first closed beta test. Slated to have a limited run in June 2025, it will offer the players the first look at the game's dynamic combat, innovative mechanics, and expansive world.
Sign-ups are live now, offering players a chance to step within the fractured realm of Setera. Here is all that's been confirmed so far.
Chrono Odyssey beta access dates and how to join it?
Mark calendars as Chrono Odyssey closed beta will run exclusively on Steam from June 20, 2025, at 00:00 PDT, till June 22, 2025, at 23:59 PDT. The 72-hour tight window is an opportunity for the players to experience Chrono Odyssey firsthand. Interested players must request access directly from the official Chrono Odyssey Steam Store page by clicking on the Request Access option.
Note:
The beta access is available across North America, Asia and Europe. The worldwide players could join either server.
The selection will not happen at once. For managing server stability and the queues, Chrono Studio and Kakao Games will give access in phases starting on June 19, 2025. Invitations confirming the player's participation would arrive via Steam email. The global demand for the game is immense, with the official sign-ups exceeding 1 million eager adventurers already.
Also, note that your progress will not be carried over to launch.
So, the testers are free to experiment without any long-term consequences.

Chrono Odyssey has set itself apart with the central time manipulation mechanics. As revealed, the players can chain some devastating combat combos with the use of abilities like freeze and time rewind, fundamentally altering the battle dynamics. During Beta access, 3 distinct classes would be available for the players to choose from: Swordsman (melee-focused), ranged Ranger, and aggressive Berserker.
In the game, exploration is key. The Beta participants would traverse one expansive region, which was crafted using Unreal Engine 5. Expect some dynamic environments that feature temporal rifts, environmental hazards, and shifting biomes. Curated beta slice also includes some early story quests while supporting both cooperative party adventures and scalable solo play.
Chrono Odyssey key features and plans for the future
While the beta is now available only for PC players (Steam), the full game will launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Epic Games store.
The supported languages in the Beta test include Korean and English voiceovers, with the UI options adding Japanese, Simplified Chinese (localization might be partial), and Traditional.
Note
: Post beta, players can expect more classes—Paladin, Assassin, and Sorcerer, along with expanded regions and deeper time-altering mechanics.
Crucially, all the progress that will be made during the test will be wiped out later. The players are thereby free to share experiences widely. The beta is not under NDA, allowing the streaming of videos and screenshots. Feedback and bug reports can be submitted to the team through official Discord or Customer Support beginning June 20, 2025. Altogether, it shows that the test is a vital step toward the polished global release of the game.
With an ambitious blend of sandbox exploration, action combat, and time-bending mechanics, Chrono Odyssey can redefine the genre of MMORPG. So, if you are eager to shape Setera's fate, sign up now, as the slots are limited.
