Summary
In a new trailer for GDC 2024,Chrono Odysseylooked even more incredible than the last time it was shown. Three years ago, the first-ever trailer forChrono Odysseywas shown. Developer Chrono Studio described its second game as a “Spacetime Epic Fantasy MMORPG,” and the trailer teased a tense fantasy world full of spectacle, showcasing many different magic powers and teasing a high-stakes story. That cinematic trailer still looks as impressive as the cutscene graphics for mostPS5releases, likeFinal Fantasy 16.
Since the initial trailer forChrono Odyssey, Chrono Studio had stayed somewhat quiet, drip-feeding information to gamers who enjoyed what they saw. In April 2023,Chrono Odyssey’s social media accounts began to share facts and concept art about the game, as well as occasional clips of gameplay. Much of the shared work teased the idea that players will face brutally strong enemies that will require teamwork to take down. In May, thefirst gameplay trailer forChrono Odysseywas released, and it looked particularly ambitious.
Recently,Chrono Odysseyimpressed gamers in its GDC 2024 trailer, showing off various sweeping landscapes. One of the most striking visuals is a snow-covered area with cubic architecture jammed into what would normally be rougher, rounder mountains and cliffs. Giant enemies and droves of henchmen are displayed, pointing to the idea that players will fend off armies of different creatures. In this trailer,Chrono Odysseylooks like it may quickly join the ranks of thebest-looking games on the PS5, which is especially surprising considering that this game is an MMORPG and will likely need to juggle maintaining these impressive visuals with keeping a steady server connection.
Chrono Odyssey GDC 2024 Trailer
Chrono Odysseyhas competition if it intends to become one ofthe most popular MMORPGs around, but the trailers consistently impress, bringing in viewers who are either returning to see more of an exciting-looking game, or players looking for something new to get into. The game is being developed on the largely popular Unreal Engine 5, which is known for facilitating impressive visual effects.
Players will likely anticipate something that better explains the systems that bringChrono Odysseytogether. The gameplay looks stunning, but little is understood about how the moment-to-moment gameplay loop functions. The game appears to have anopen world similar toElden Ring, but there is a chance that players need to enter lobbies and use a more mission-based setup to enter the world, like the recent hitHelldivers 2.Chrono Odysseyhas gamers looking forward to seeing the next bit of information.
