Chrono Odyssey has a seamless open world set in Setera, a realm built on Unreal Engine 5 with minimal loading screens between zones.
The world of Setera
Setera appears as a peaceful, beautiful land filled with nature. However, it is also the frontlines of a war against the Void, an ongoing conflict since the beginning of time. The land contains dangers from twisted space-time and contradicting timelines. These same dangers provide mysteries and opportunities unique to this world.
Environment and biomes
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Grasslands | Open fields with standard enemies |
Snowfields | Cold environments with weather hazards |
Swamps | Dangerous areas with environmental effects |
Mountains | Elevated terrain with unique challenges |
Each region has distinct visual identity and enemy types. Content scales depending on party size.
Closed beta exploration
The first closed beta test (June 20-22, 2025) restricted players to one region with a dark border preventing access to other areas.
Some players crossed the boundary and discovered additional areas in development, including open fields with stone giants and new 5-player dungeons.
Post-beta improvements
Based on feedback, the development team announced plans for:
Denser and more rewarding world
Enhanced region-specific features for stronger visual identity
New exploration elements (themed caves, diverse routes)
Dynamic grass and wind systems responding to player movement
Improved dungeon replayability with randomized elements
Known zones
The Continent of Setera includes the Balrog and Cradle sub-regions. Dawn Slope is the first major settlement with all crafting workbenches.
Release timeline
The official launch is planned for Q4 2026, with the possibility of delays based on additional beta feedback.
