Chrono Ark EA 1.9999 - New World

English

Hello everyone, I am Hyung-Ju Lee, the lead developer of Chrono Ark.
Chrono Ark has been updated to version EA 1.99999!

[h2]What is "EA 1.99999"?[/h2]
First of all, I would like to apologize for postponing the official release to next year early-mid season.
However, we are spending a lot of time making the game quality as good as it can be.
Our original plan was to release the 2.0 update along with the ending, but we realized finishing the ending would push the update period too far. Therefore, we decided to split the story and update the game now.
This means we are planning to finish the main story in the next 2.0 update.
I sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this year’s official release.


Below are the main features of the EA 1.99999 update.


[h2]The Final Story Arc[/h2]
Azar is trying to end the loop to create a new world.

This update contains story content until just before the ending.
We’ve worked very hard on this part, but it wouldn’t be any fun to spoil it here, so please check it out in-game!


"Everything feels empty... Does it not?"

[h2]Main Story Beginning Improvements[/h2]

Story progress after the first and second death have been changed.
They’ve become shorter and more concise, and we’ve removed the parts that make the story drag.

[h2]Other Changes[/h2]

- Added Challenge "Quick Building".
“Quick Building” is a challenge that lets you start from a campfire in the second area ‘Bloody Park’. This shortens playtime significantly, but you will be shorter on items than a regular playthrough, and this challenge will cost “5 Credits” to play.
- Added 3 new items.
- Improved the Result Screen UI
- Added a gameplay option “Battle Speed”.
- Fixed the game so that if you enter soulstones into the vending machines but do not enter Crimson Wilderness, you will get your soulstones back.

Final Chapter Update Announcement

Hello everyone, I am Hyung-Ju Lee, the lead developer of Chrono Ark.

The final chapter of Chrono Ark is coming soon.
The final chapter will have a lot more content than previous updates, so it will take at least two months to complete.
Also, in light of the upcoming Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day), we have decided to take a break from September 3rd to September 12th.

[h2]New Logo, New Main Poster![/h2]

We made a new logo and main poster for the game! These will not be applied until official release, but we decided to give everyone a sneak peek.



Below are the remaining things we need to do until official release.

Next Update
  • Small improvements near the beginning of the main story.


Official Release Checklist
  • Final chapter of main story, final boss, ending. (
  • Estimated 15 new Records.
  • Investigator Friendship System
  • Gamepad support
  • New PV
  • Skins for all characters
  • Nintendo Switch port
  • 2 new hidden bosses
  • 1 new playable character



There are some other features planned, but we only included the ones we were sure about.
Since this is the final content and finishing touches, please understand that the update cycle may take a long time.


I would like to conclude the announcement with my Norwegian Forest Cat ‘Dochi’ that we are raising at the AlFine office. Please stay tuned until official release. Thank you.
