Smilegate's Latest Adventure: Chaos Zero Nightmare
On June 10, 2025, Smilegate introduced fans to its upcoming RPG,
Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN), by launching a new gameplay trailer titled "
Embrace Despair." This announcement comes as a follow-up to the initial promotional video that debuted last November. The trailer highlights the game’s captivating dark fantasy setting and showcases a unique card-based combat system designed to challenge players in a corrupted universe.
Immerse Yourself in the Dark Fantasy World
CZN invites players to explore a haunting world that has been ravaged by an obscure force known as “
Chaos.” The landscape is filled with unusual creatures and monsters that defy traditional anime-style RPG conventions. Unlike many games in the genre, CZN strives to deliver an aesthetic that truly embodies its grim narrative.
The trailer premiered globally on Smilegate’s official channels at 0300 UTC, demonstrating captivating gameplay sequences that blend exquisite art design with engaging mechanics. In addition to its striking visual style, players can expect to interact with an extensive cast of characters that can be collected and upgraded as gameplay progresses.
What’s New in the Gameplay Mechanics
Unlike traditional RPGs, Chaos Zero Nightmare features a
deck-building component, allowing players to strategize their combat style based on their card collection. This element introduces an additional layer of depth to CZN's gameplay, making each encounter unique and challenging. The game merges elements from various genres, thus providing a fresh and modern gaming experience that is sure to intrigue both newcomers and veterans alike.
