Unreal Engine 5 MMORPGs: ArcheAge 2 and Chrono Odyssey Release Date Launch in 2025

In the ever-evolving world of gaming, the anticipation for new releases is always high. Today, we’re going to talk about two hotly anticipated Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) powered action MMORPGs, ArcheAge 2 and Chrono Odyssey, set to launch globally in 2025.

ArcheAge 2: The Sequel We’ve Been Waiting For

ArcheAge 2 is the sequel to the 2013 sandpark MMORPG created by Lineage’s Jake Song, who is once again at the helm of the new game. Originally slated to launch in 2024, the development timeline was extended, hinting at the 2025 launch that has now been confirmed.

The game is expected to move away from the original’s large scale PvP to focus on PvE and Guild versus Guild modes. It promises a fascinating experience with a single-play style and an immersive narrative based on an inherited universe. The game also inherits ArcheAge IP and its livelihood content.

Chrono Odyssey: A Journey Through Time and Space

Chrono Odyssey was announced even earlier than ArcheAge 2. The game got a re-reveal when developer NPIXEL announced that the project had switched to UE5 and would focus on PC and console releases. The defining feature of Chrono Odyssey is going to be time, which will be a factor not only in the storyline but also in combat.

The game promises a fascinating experience delivered through manipulation of time and space in a fantasy world. It also offers a diverse array of PvE content strengthening the role-play feature.

Looking Ahead

South Korean publisher Kakao Games, in its Q1 2024 financial report, revealed that both of these games are slated to launch globally next year. In addition to these, Kakao has another UE5 powered action RPG on the way, tentatively titled The Swordmaster’s Youngest Son, slated for 2026.

With these upcoming releases, the future of gaming looks promising. The use of UE5 in these games is expected to bring a new level of realism and immersion to the MMORPG genre. As we eagerly await the launch of these games, it’s clear that the gaming landscape is set for some exciting times ahead.
