First Update Arrives September 25

Global publisher CFK and developer 21c Ducks announced today that Chrono Sword , the pixel art soulslike action RPG, will receive its first major update since launching on Steam Early Access. The update rolls out on September 25, bringing gameplay adjustments, accessibility improvements, and new content based on player feedback.

Developer Commitment to Feedback

Since launch, Chrono Sword has earned favorable reviews, with fans praising its pixel art style and time-travel mechanics. Developers at 21c Ducks emphasized their dedication to refining the game with community input:

"We're so grateful for all of the players who have enjoyed Chrono Sword. Since its release to Early Access, we've worked hard to increase both the fun and the gameplay experience," the team said. "We'll continue improving the game based on feedback from around the globe."

The first patch details will be revealed on release day, with new updates planned every three months, promising expanded content and refinements over time.

A Unique Soulslike Experience

Unlike most modern 3D-rendered RPGs, Chrono Sword stands out with its isometric pixel art design. Set in the gothic fantasy world of Adelnor, players travel seamlessly across past, present, and future maps without loading screens.

The game blends classic soulslike combat—where every hit counts—with fast-paced, action-driven intensity. Players can expect deep exploration, challenging enemies, and secrets scattered across its richly detailed world.

Chrono Sword has already earned recognition at international game shows and continues to grow a strong community during its Early Access phase.

Steam Fall Sale

Alongside the update, Chrono Sword will be featured in the Steam Fall Sale, giving players a chance to pick up the game at a discounted price.
