Time is no longer on your side—or anyone’s. In a brand-new gameplay overview trailer, Chrono Odyssey gives players their best look yet at Setera, a world torn by temporal warfare, divine forces, and high-fantasy devastation. As part of Summer Game Fest 2025, developer Chrono Studio has also confirmed the first Steam closed beta for Chrono Odyssey, which kicks off June 20 for a limited 72-hour test.
Trailer Breakdown: Setera’s War on Time
The new footage dives deep into the moment-to-moment action and core mechanics of Chrono Odyssey, including:
- Time-Bending Combat: Rewind, freeze, and manipulate time mid-fight to unleash devastating combos. Three classes—Swordsman, Ranger, and Berserker—are playable in the beta.
- A Fractured World: Explore the shifting biomes of Setera, from ruined temples to war-scorched plains, all rendered in breathtaking detail via Unreal Engine 5.
- Narrative Stakes: According to Executive Producer Sangtae Yoon, “Everything in Chrono Odyssey is about how time—and the loss of it—shapes the world and its fate.”
Steam Closed Beta Info
Players eager to enter this fractured timeline won’t have to wait long. The PC-exclusive closed beta runs from June 20 at 12:00 AM PDT to June 22 at 11:59 PM PDT. The 72-hour test includes:
- A single explorable region full of environmental hazards, quests, and temporal anomalies.

Kakao Games and Chrono Studio are inviting players to help stress-test and shape its early systems before the real battle over time begins.
