Chrono Sword Demo Launches October 11th

Chrono Sword Steam Next Fest 2024

On October 11th, folks who’ve been waiting on Chrono Sword can finally get hands-on when a new demo drops on PC via Steam.

This Souls-like action RPG by developer 21cDucks and publisher CFK is in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. It’s part of the Steam Next Fest lineup this October, from the 14th to the 21st.

Check out the teaser below, which showcases the characters and some environments.

Nearly five years since Chrono Sword was first revealed, the process of development sure has come a long way. This demo is expected to showcase a game further along than the version playable during its Kickstarter campaign. According to 21cDucks, Chrono Sword could launch in Early Access this year, after improvements are made based on player feedback.

Chrono Sword Overview

Chrono Sword is a souls-like action RPG set within a vast world, requiring players to travel between the past and future to uncover the secrets lying under that world’s surface.

A uniquely crafted adventure with a time travel theme

This city, once vibrant, is now a living hell where monsters and madmen run wild.

Travel through the Time Gate to visit the past of the collapsing world and the future that has already been destroyed in order to find the reason for this devastation. Your past choices may change the future, but the opposite may also occur: where future times paradoxes alter the past.

A vast, three-dimensional world

Within all these interwoven districts, unknown dangers and a number of secrets lie in wait.

Scour the city for clues, and challenge the enemies and powerful bosses that lurk within. If you’re thorough in your exploration, you may find yourself outside the city proper—somewhere deeper, darker.

A character custom to you

Freely combine status, equipment, and items to match your playstyle.

Whether you prefer to mow down enemies with a greatsword or overpower with a rapier, develop your character to fit your tastes. Use various weapon commands and item buffs to test your skills.

A drama of battle, spanning two timelines

Within this collapsed or collapsing world, the survivors spin new tales.

You’re not the only person skilled in the ways of time travel. Cooperate with the other time travelers to uncover the truth of the world’s collapse, or check to see what they’re hiding.
