Chaos Chronicles Website Closed

For hardcore CRPG traditionalists, Chaos Chronicles was the next big game. As an isometric turn-based European CRPG, it was meant to be the modern day equivalent to Troika’s Temple of Elemental Evil or the more mature offspring of Baldur’s Gate. Appropriate to its name, however, much chaos surrounded its development and the hardcore crowd quickly rose up when it was announced that the publisher was dumping the game.

Still, the future of the game was largely unknown. Though the publisher gave an interview trying to convince others that it wasn’t their fault, it didn’t placate the hungry masses. As someone who was a frequent forum follower of this game, I still believed there was hope.

Sadly, that hope is no more, as the official website is now down. All that remains is a simple one sentence post saying “The song is ended, but the melody lingers on…”

Whether this means they hope to use some of the finished code in another game or perhaps go the kickstarter route is unclear…but it does mean that Chaos Chronicles is no more.
