Chrono Odyssey Delayed to Late 2026 Following Beta Feedback
Kakao Games has announced a new release window for Chrono Odyssey, the highly anticipated open-world MMORPG. The game is now scheduled for Q4 2026, moving away from its previously estimated launch in the second half of 2025.

The announcement was made during an official corporate presentation in which Kakao Games shared an updated roadmap of upcoming titles. Chrono Odyssey appeared alongside other in-development projects like ArcheAge Chronicle and Project Q, all now set for release next year.
The delay follows the outcome of the closed global beta held in June 2025. While the game was praised for its world-building, artistic direction, and combat mechanics, several critical areas for improvement were also identified. These include client optimization, overall usability, and technical performance.
Han Sang-woo, CEO of Kakao Games, explained that the high level of public interest, particularly from Western audiences, has raised the bar for the development team:
"If we can meet the quality expectations of our players, the chances for long-term success will be much higher."
Chrono Studio, the game's developer, is already working on a broad range of improvements that will include adjustments to gameplay, class balance, open-world design, accessibility, and performance. The goal is clear: to deliver an experience worthy of the excitement the community has shown so far.
Although the delay may disappoint some fans, the decision aims to ensure a more polished and complete launch, aligned with the growing expectations surrounding this ambitious MMORPG.
