FDG Entertainment and Cornfox & Bros. have unveiled their latest addition to the Oceanhorn series, titled Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon. Set to launch in Q2 2025, this game takes place 200 years after the events of Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm. Unlike its predecessors, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon will be available on Android, iOS, and PC via Steam, introducing a new twist to the beloved franchise.
In Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon, the narrative shifts from navigating the high seas to exploring the perilous depths of an underground labyrinth. This dungeon crawler, infused with a retro vibe, transports players to a world where the once-mighty Kingdom of Arcadia has fragmented into scattered islands, and the legendary White City has faded into obscurity.
Amidst this backdrop of decay, four determined adventurers set out to conquer the Chronos Dungeon. This mysterious underground complex is said to house the Paradigm Hourglass, an artifact capable of altering the course of history. Their mission? To brave the dangers lurking within the dungeon and harness the power of the Hourglass to restore the world to its former glory.
The developers have released an announcement trailer that provides a glimpse into the gripping story and atmospheric setting of Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon. You can watch it right here.
Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon embraces a classic dungeon crawler format with a nostalgic 16-bit arcade feel. Designed for couch co-op, the game allows up to four players to team up for an engaging, side-by-side gaming experience. For solo players, there's the option to control all four heroes simultaneously or switch between them as needed, ensuring a versatile gameplay experience.
One of the game's unique features is the dynamic character stats, which vary with each playthrough based on the heroes' zodiac signs. This element adds a layer of unpredictability and replayability to the game. The four playable characters—the Knight, Huntress, Grandmaster, and Mage—each bring their own strengths and abilities to the table.
Visually, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon captures the essence of retro gaming with its pixel art visuals and chiptune-inspired soundtrack. These nostalgic elements, combined with a variety of old-school arcade features, promise to deliver an authentic and engaging experience for fans of the genre.
For those eager to learn more, the Steam page for Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is now live, offering further details on FDG's exciting new game.
