The Nexus is breaking. Worlds bleed into worlds. Four unlikely heroes must cross the rift — together — before the seams unravel for good.
Crossworld Chronicles is a cross-platform co-op action survival game where up to four interdimensional stabilizers push into unstable territory together. Fight from the frontline as the Explorer, or shift to command from above as the Strategist — and switch between roles at any moment.
Each session is a push through procedurally generated dungeons: advance, survive, place defenses, gather resources, and decide when to hold ground or press forward. Success demands real-time cooperation, not fixed assignments.
Roles aren’t locked to players — they’re states you choose. Shift between them as the mission demands. The dungeon adapts in real time.
First-person. In the thick of it.
Engage enemies in direct combat, navigate environments, and generate shared resources through action. Positioning, timing, and awareness keep the team alive at ground level.
Top-down. The bigger picture.
Oversee the entire battlefield from above. Place and reposition defensive towers, manage shared resources, and guide your team through a dungeon only you can see in full.
Five heroes from across the multiverse — each shaped by their home world's philosophy, each essential to the expedition. Every character brings unique combat abilities and tower types to the fight.
Nexus Arbiter · Order & containment
The Moth · Industrial force
Settlement Lead · Earth & overgrowth
Arcane Hacker · Disruption & speed
The Filter · Frontline stabilizer

The Nexus was meant to hold them apart. Now it's leaking. Four realms are open for travel today — with more worlds to be announced as the rift widens.
Cross-platform co-op is the center of the game, not a bolt-on. Play your side on whatever you have.
Full-body traversal and first-person combat. Reach into the rift with your own hands. Supported on major PC VR and standalone headsets at launch.
The Strategist's chair. Top-down tactical view, rich tooling, rift-mending puzzles. Also fully playable solo in single-player mode.
A lightweight second screen for the Strategist. Route, mark, and mend from the couch while your partner's in the headset. Cross-play with PC and VR.
