Due out in Early Access for PC in 2024.

CFK will publish 21c.Ducks-developed Soulslike action RPG Chrono Sword for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, the companies announced. It will launch first in Early Access for PC via Steam in 2024.

Here is an overview of the game, via CFK:

Chrono Sword is a pixel art Souls-like action RPG developed by Korean dev team 21c.Ducks that tells the story of the dark gothic fantasy world of Adelnor, where players must travel between the past and future to unlock its secrets. Revealed first to the public in 2019, this Soulslike action RPG garnered a great deal of interest in Korea and abroad for its unique pixel graphics and gameplay. Selected as the first game in the collaboration campaign by North American crowdfunding site Kickstarter and the global game testing platform Game Round.Inc in 2020, it raised over seventy thousand dollars to successfully reach its funding goal.

Developer 21c.Ducks has submitted Chrono Sword to a number of game shows in Korea and abroad, where it was praised and awarded by a number of these for its gameplay. The developer then used this as a chance to refine the gameplay and level design within the game.

Chrono Sword isn’t another 3D rendered game like many of the Souls-like action RPGs released these days, instead rendered in an isometric pixel art style for this unique Souls-like. Since 21c.Ducks announced the game, they’ve shown a heart and soul commitment to elevating the game’s storyline and the features that make it a Soulslike action RPG.

Chrono Sword spans a vast land splayed out in three dimensions, all rendered in its pixel art style. Once inside, players will embark on a “journey through time,” able to venture between the past, present, and future, switching between maps seamlessly with no loading screens.

In addition, the game features a variety of systems that incorporate the heavy enemy and player hits common to the Souls-like genre, but with the action made faster and more intense. Details of the enhancements made to Chrono Sword will be revealed at a later date.
