In accordance with Steam’s policy, we unfortunately had to reschedule the game’s release to offer a discount at the same time as the Official Release. We’ve originally announced Chrono Ark’s release date to be April 26th, 2024, but as mentioned, we've decided to push back the release date by one week to accommodate the release discount, which means the game will be set to launch on [b]May 3rd, 2024[/b]. We apologize for going back on our previously announced schedule. However, this delay is only for the official release, and the 1.0 update excluding the DLC will still be available on April 26th, 2024. On May 3rd, Chrono Ark will officially release along with the new DLC ‘Summer Twilight’! The 1.0 update on April 26th will add the following content. [h2]New Boss ‘Shiranui’[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36176731/440faff17ac8aa97f626dd63b0e80a0dff0e748a.png[/img] The new boss ‘Shiranui’ can be encountered through a new event object, similarly to ‘Sir Dorchi’. This boss has a special mechanic where the boss-only party member ‘Stake of Protection’ temporarily participates in the battle!

This boss has two illustration versions. As for the background of her development, Chrono Ark had went through a crowdfunding phase before its release, and one of the backer rewards was designing a boss according to how the backer wanted. If you turn on the ‘Backer Content’ gameplay option, the boss’s appearance will be changed to the backer’s preferred design! The Backer Content option can be turned on by anyone. (The ‘Backer’ design version is a little suggestive, so we’ll post it as a link.) https://x.com/ChronoArk_game/status/1777232966554624261 Additionally, if you purchase the ‘Summer Twilight’ content that will be released on May 3rd, you can view a short story where Lucy and her party enter the 'Twilight Beach' created by Shiranui.
