In a new trailer for GDC 2024, Chrono Odyssey looked even more incredible than the last time it was shown. Three years ago, the first-ever trailer for Chrono Odyssey was shown. Developer Npixel 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 most PS5 releases, like Final Fantasy 16.
Since the initial trailer for Chrono Odyssey, Npixel 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, the first gameplay trailer for Chrono Odyssey was released, and it looked particularly ambitious.
Recently, Chrono Odyssey impressed 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 Odyssey looks like it may quickly join the ranks of the best-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 has competition if it intends to become one of the 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 bring Chrono Odyssey together. The gameplay looks stunning, but little is understood about how the moment-to-moment gameplay loop functions. The game appears to have an open world similar to Elden 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 hit Helldivers 2. Chrono Odyssey has gamers looking forward to seeing the next bit of information.

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey remains one of the greatest space movies, even as we approach the 55th birthday of its theatrical debut. It’s awe-inspiring, full of clever practical effects. It’s also terrifying, both for its disturbing vision of the great unknown and for showcasing the perils of naughty AI that knows too much, decades before it was something anyone truly had to think about. Maybe you’ve seen this film countless times already, or you’re intrigued after seeing the cheeky, yet heavy-handed references to the film in the opening sequence of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Rise of the Ronin, the latest tentpole PS5 console exclusive from legendary Japanese developer Team Ninja, has been subject to a colossal marketing push in Asia, where posters and billboards have been spotted around cities such as Taipei for several weeks now. That’s all culminated in an Edo period art exhibition in Huashan 1914 Creative Park – coincidentally, the former home of a Japanese sake manufacturer– where Sony has installed several 19th-century props inspired by the game.
