Gunfire Games announced some good news for fans of Remnant: From the Ashes. A prequel titled Chronos: Before the Ashes will release on PC and current generation consoles on December 1st. Chronos is a revamped version of a well-received VR title that was released in 2016 that non-VR players will now get to enjoy. Playing as a mage, the gameplay is markedly different from Remnant, but still has the Dark Souls style.

More detailed information from the developer’s website can be seen below:

Chronos: Before the Ashes is an atmospheric RPG that chronicles a hero’s lifelong quest to save their homeland from a great evil. Grow wiser, stronger and more powerful as you explore the depths of the mysterious labyrinth. But beware, the labyrinth takes a heavy toll – each time your hero dies, they lose a year of their life!

• Adventure RPG – Refreshing combination of Adventure Game elements and RPG mechanics.
• Deep Combat – A variety of weapons, abilities, and powers are available to the player in the pursuit of their quest.
• Unique Aging Mechanic – Every time the player dies they age one year. Players must adapt to their advancing age as they progress throughout the game. You will begin your adventure young, nimble, and quick, and end your time in the game wise and more attuned to magic.

Additionally, here are some images that showcase the game’s art style and direction:

Remnant was entertaining, but it wasn’t amazing. It will be interesting to see if Chronos is an improvement or not. What do you think? Is this game on your radar now, have you already played it, or are you more interested in other games on the horizon? Let us know in the comment section below!
