This game promises a new age of MMOs – new trailer wows fans, beta starts soon
Chrono Odyssey aims to usher in a new generation of MMORPGs. Featuring a vast open world, innovative time-based mechanics and a flexible class system, the game promises more freedom and depth than many of today’s genre staples. Set to launch in 2025, the ambitious MMO is already making waves – we first covered it back in late May. Now, a newly released 17-minute gameplay trailer is drawing even more attention.
The trailer showcases smooth, impactful combat, an active skill system, fully explorable regions and deep character customization. The world of Satara feels vibrant and dynamic, filled with dungeons, quests, time portals and ever-shifting landscapes. Endgame content is already part of the package – including PvP zones, intense boss battles and the perilous roguelike area known as Eden. Visually, everything is crafted with impressive detail – a quality that’s strongly resonating with the MMO community.
Mixed reactions: Hype on YouTube, hesitation on Reddit
YouTube is buzzing with excitement – comments like “Finally something fresh,” “Cleanest combat system I’ve seen in years” and “Please don’t flop!” are dominating the discussion. The combat mechanics and visuals, in particular, are earning widespread praise and driving anticipation even higher.
The conversation on Reddit is more nuanced. While the visuals receive praise, core MMO concerns like server stability, monetization and long-term engagement are under close scrutiny. Some users are already drawing comparisons to rocky launches such as Bless Unleashed or New World. There’s also criticism aimed at the user interface, which some feel lacks polish.
Closed beta just around the corner
According to the official Steam page, the closed beta kicks off on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. PT and runs until Sunday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Players can choose from servers in Europe, North America and Asia – with no regional restrictions in place. Registration is available directly via Steam. Access keys will be distributed gradually starting June 18, and signing up early increases your chances of getting in.
