Kakao Games and Chrono Studio have released new gameplay footage for Chrono Odyssey, the open world action MMORPG built on Unreal Engine 5. The video captures one full unedited solo attempt against Miragin, a Chrono Gate boss shown for the first time, with the newly revealed Paladin class. It is the first new look at the game in months, and the developers confirm that more reveals are planned in the months ahead.
Quick Facts: Developer Chrono Studio. Publisher Kakao Games. Genre open world action MMORPG with time manipulation combat. Engine Unreal Engine 5. Platforms PC and console. Release date to be announced. Latest reveal unedited Paladin versus Miragin solo run from the current development build. PC page now open for wishlists on Steam.
Paladin makes its debut against Miragin
The footage introduces Paladin, a class that pairs a long spear with a shield, and puts it straight into a demanding solo encounter. Chained spear attacks build pressure across extended combos, and one standout skill summons a massive spear that crashes down on the boss for heavy damage. Defense matters just as much as offense in this fight. The footage shows Paladin raising its shield to block incoming attacks and reduce damage, which keeps the attempt alive through patterns that would end a careless run. Since neither Paladin nor Miragin had been shown before, this single fight does double duty as a class reveal and a first look at a new Chrono Gate boss. Readers following the studio may also remember our report on a fellow Chrono Studio project surfaced through a trademark filing, which shows how active the developer has become across multiple fronts.
Replicate and Isolation shape the fight
Two Chronotector movements sit at the center of the combat design on display. Replicate lets players temporarily recreate the combat skills of bosses they have already defeated and turn those attacks back on current enemies. Isolation freezes an enemy in time for a limited period, which restricts movement and opens safe windows for damage. The Miragin attempt shows both tools used with clear intent, as the player locks the boss down, borrows past victories through Replicate and converts each opening into spear damage. The result reads less like a stat check and more like a tactics problem, where timing and control decide how much punishment the boss can absorb. Time manipulation has been part of the pitch for Chrono Odyssey since its announcement, per the official game description on the Chrono Odyssey Steam page, and this footage is the clearest demonstration yet of how those systems behave under real encounter pressure.
A straight capture from the current build
What sets this reveal apart is the format. The developers state that the footage comes directly from the current development build with no supercut and no highlight reel, just one player and one boss from start to finish. That choice invites scrutiny, since every mistake and recovery stays in the frame, and it signals confidence in where combat currently stands. Chrono Studio executive producer Kwon said the team wanted to return with the game itself rather than another trailer, and described Chrono Gates as the content that asks the most of players. The same announcement notes that footage was captured from an in-development build and that content may change before release, so fine tuning around damage, timing and boss patterns should be expected.
Where to follow Chrono Odyssey from here
Development is moving forward with no release date announced yet. The Steam listing from developer Chrono Studio and publisher Kakao Games remains the main hub for PC players, with wishlists open now, while the official Chrono Odyssey site collects trailers, news and newsletter signups alongside links to the community Discord and social channels. Console players should watch the official channels for store page news, since platform listings beyond PC have yet to be detailed. Open world multiplayer releases of this scale tend to share long marketing runways with peers such as Crimson Desert and its latest expansion coverage, so the promise of more reveals in the months ahead fits the normal rhythm. For now, one unedited boss fight has restarted the conversation, and the next footage drop will show whether Paladin and Miragin are the start of a steadier news cycle.
