Chrono Odyssey
Chrono Studio · Kakao Games

No verdict — not out yetChrono Odyssey isn't released (Q2 2027 (delayed from Q1 2027)), and hype is not a verdict. When it launches, the score and monetization data will speak for themselves — track it on the release calendar until then.

Global Launch
UE5 action MMO launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. Pushed out of 2026 after closed-beta feedback showed the game needed more development time, then one more quarter to Q2 2027 in Kakao Games' August 2026 earnings call, which slots ArcheAge S: Straits of Freedom into the same quarter.
