About the game Chrono Odyssey is set in Setera , a world where time doesn't behave normally. Think past, present, and even other dimensions colliding. Executive Producer Yoon Sangtae says the game draws inspiration from cosmic horror films like Prometheus, the alien swarm of StarCraft's Zerg, and even classic RPGs like Chrono Trigger. Live Events At the heart of the game is a powerful tool called the Chronotector, which lets players manipulate time itself. You can uncover hidden paths, unlock secrets from the past, and even get glimpses of the future. This isn't just another fetch-quest MMO. Instead of following a strict main storyline, players shape their own adventure. Here's what makes Chrono Odyssey different: No fixed roles: You're not stuck being just a tank, healer, or damage dealer. Play how you want. Active combat: Dodge, parry, and switch between two weapons in real-time. Explore and craft your way to max level—even without fighting. Time-travel puzzles and dungeons add variety beyond combat. In the beta, players will test solo challenges like Chrono Gates (intense one-on-one battles) and Trials (puzzle-filled time adventures), plus co-op missions like Expedition Dungeons (3-player challenges) and Region Bosses (big, multi-party fights). The world is powered by Unreal Engine 5 , bringing lifelike environments with surreal touches. From strange creatures to shifting timelines, the visual experience is just as ambitious as the gameplay. Chrono Odyssey also includes content that falls under the Exploration/Adventure category. Labyrinths are twisted rifts filled with puzzles, offering a break from combat, revealing secrets, and rewarding players at the end with a 'special treasure'. Time Portals, as you can guess from the name, are doors into the past where players gather materials and learn more about Setera's history. Lastly, Bounty Hunting brings back the focus on combat, as players are asked to track down and take down specific targets. Sangtae says this beta won't be the final version of the game, but rather, a chance to improve it with help from the community. 'This is just the beginning,' he says. More regions, classes, and time-based content are coming. This isn't just an MMORPG—it's a journey through time itself.

How to join Chrono Odyssey's June 2025 Closed Beta
(Image via Kakao Games) The wait is finally over for the Chrono Odyssey fans. One of the highly anticipated MMOs is finally opening up the doors for the PC-exclusive closed Beta in June 2025. With Kakao Games and Chrono Studio opening the sign-ups, over 400K players signed up already, here is how you can secure the spot and what you can expect from the adventure. How to sign up for Chrono Odyssey closed Beta — SpawnYaardReply (@SpawnYaardReply) To get into the closed Beta is quite simple. For it, head to the Chrono Odyssey Steam page, select Chrono Odyssey Playtest, and click on the button- Request Access. It is available under the Playtest section. You do not need any codes or surveys. Just with one click, you can enter the pool. While the sign-ups will not guarantee entry, your chances can be improved by registering sooner. The exact selection criteria have not yet been revealed by the developers, but the previous tests by Kakao Games gave priority to the hardware ( Unreal Engine 5 ) diversity and the survey responses. So, make sure your PC meets the unofficial requirement for better odds. The Beta will be running for a very limited time in June. It includes the early-story quests along with 1 explorable region and 3 planned classes— Berserker, Swordsman, and Ranger. The curated slice aims to test the stability of the server while teasing the players about the complete experience. What makes Chrono Odyssey special? The MMO stands out with its revolutionary time manipulation mechanics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Want Lower Bills Without Changing a Thing? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo The players here can rewind the combat mistakes, explore the world where varied eras collide, and even freeze the enemies in the middle of the attack. Setera's Unreal Engine 5-powered world features a seamless transition between the post-apocalyptic ruins and the medieval castles— all with the dynamic weather and the day/night cycles. The combat perfectly blends the Online fluidity of the Black Desert with the unique temporal powers. Berserker class, for example, can bank on successful attacks and then replay them later, while the Rangers might be able to reverse the time for retrieving the spent arrows. The system promises to redefine MMO combat when the game launches on the PC and the consoles later in 2025. What should the Beta testers prepare for? While the beta test will offer very limited content, it is an important chance to influence the development. The Testers must, therefore, focus on, Performance- pushing graphics settings to help optimize the demanding tech of UE5. Class balance- as the 3 need some thorough stress-testing. Time mechanics- report the bugs with the freeze/rewind systems. Kakao Games has confirmed that all the progress will be wiped after the June Beta test. However, the dedicated testers might earn some exclusive cosmetics for a full launch. With the servers now expected to be quite crowded, make sure to prepare for the queues, but remember, the chance to shape the ambitious MMO will make it worthwhile.
