The Chronicles of Spellborn (TCoS) is a 3D fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was developed by Spellborn NV for the PC. The game was built using the Unreal Engine.

With The Chronicles of Spellborn players enter into an impressive online scenario with scenic landscapes, majestic cities and the remnants of an ancient civilization. Alone or with a party of allies, PC adventurers step into a huge fantasy realm consisting of varied shard worlds floating in the magic Deadspell Storm. Those who want to prevail in the staged combats of The Chronicles of Spellborn need to apply their mighty arsenal of spells, melee and ranged attacks skillfully. Battles with bloodthirsty creatures, hostile peoples and human opponents in PvP battles are waiting. An innovative and tactically challenging combat system with shooter-like controls and rotating skill deck provides a fresh breath of air for the dusty MMORPG genre.

The game was originally subscription-based, but later switched to a free-to-play model.

Acclaim Games ceased service on August 26th, 2010 after being acquired by Playdom. Support for The Chronicles of Spellborn and all other games by Acclaim Games ceased on that date.

  • Chronicles of Spellborn Q&A at MMORPG.com

    You say Spellborn, I think maternity cost savings.

    MMORPG.com interviews Barry Hoffman of "The Chronicles of Spellborn," one of the newest fantasy MMORPGs to join the in-development parade. What's conspicuously missing: what, besides a different backstory and no death penalty, makes Spellborn different from the other 50 quality fantasy MMOGs on the market. Hmph.

    MMORPG.com: Many references have been made to "puzzles" which "unlock" doors in the game. Are you talking about puzzles along the lines of the Myst series? Could you elaborate on what we can expect of these "puzzles"?
    Barry Hoffman:

    Our subtitle already says it all: ‘What lies hidden must be found’. It is not so much about physical puzzles, but exploring mysteries, lore and background. Solving the riddle what has happened in the past and you will see the present world in a different manner as parts of the world get more meaning for the player. And by knowing history the player understands what to do next or gets access to new parts of the world.

    We envision our world not as the biggest world to explore in miles of walking, but more in what is to be found out about the world.

    There will be much interlinking in the game through time and space for both individual and groups.

  • CoS Introduces New Concept

    A Pokemon MMOG?
    "The Chronicles of Spellborn," a new MMOG slated to be released in the first half of 2006, will reportedly use a deck system to build a character's fighting style. Froclicking, card-wielding grade-schoolers and parents sucked dry of allowance money were heard to chant in unison:

    "Players will be able to interact with each other in an original fantasy setting, experienced through a unique graphics style. Players can fight with or against each other, forge alliances and control parts of the world.
    The players’ strength is not determined by the sword that he or she wields, but by the skill with which it is wielded. This is one of the things that allows players to create varying but recognizable identities for their characters. In addition, players are free to use a wide variety of faces, clothes, armors and symbols to customize their characters in the game."
