Now they have released their first-ever gameplay trailer for the new title, and wow, it&#8217;s looking pretty epic so far.<\/p>\n<p>Built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5,\u00a0<em>Chrono Odyssey<\/em> takes place in the vast open-world wilderness of Setera. According to producer <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2023\/05\/03\/chrono-odyssey-new-gameplay-details-on-the-upcoming-ps5-mmorpg\/\">Samuel Seo via a post on Playstation Blog<\/a>, the world of Setera will feature a living and breathing environment that transforms with dynamic weather and seasons. Based on the video it looks like there will be plenty to explore within its massive world.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chrono Odyssey | Official Gameplay Trailer (4K)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uSPUHJqNrqY?start=10&#038;feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The combat system looks pretty incredible, albeit ambitious for an MMO. Unlike most titles in the genre that utilize tab-targeting mechanics, the game utilizes a real-time action combat system. The game will have six distinct classes: Swordsman, Ranger, Sorcerer, Paladin, Berserker, and Assassin<\/p>\n<p>Overall the action on display in this trailer gave me heavy <em>Dark Souls<\/em> vibes, which could be a lot of fun to experience in an MMO. If I had to compare what we&#8217;re seeing here to an existing game in the genre, I&#8217;d say it looks most similar to <em>Black Desert Online<\/em> which also has similarly fast-paced action.<\/p>\n<h2>Manipulate time and space<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, a unique feature of the game will be the &#8220;Chronotector&#8221; system. A force called &#8220;Chrono&#8221; will be a big part of the storyline and also allow players to manipulate time and space in combat. Teamwork also seems to be a big part of the game. In the trailer several scenes depicted large-scale battles in which hundreds of players took on a single colossal enemy.<\/p>\n<p>We still have a ton of questions about the game but this first gameplay trailer is certainly promising. Last year the game had a target release date of 2023, but we&#8217;re not sure if that&#8217;s still the case. The game looks quite polished at this point so hopefully we will now get more information over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Npixel has confirmed\u00a0<em>Chrono Odyssey<\/em> will launch on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone else getting Souls-like vibes?
