What ArcheAge Chronicles is

ArcheAge Chronicles is an online action RPG from XLGAMES, the studio behind the original ArcheAge. Players share one persistent world, and every core activity and dungeon can be done solo or in a party. It's coming to PC first as an Early Access release on Steam, and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions were announced in 2024.

According to the Steam page, Early Access starts with three regions (Diamond Shores, Gylden Ruins and Astron Plains) and four classes with two weapons each. It also has dungeons, raids, PvP, housing, crafting, trading and company activities. The life skills ArcheAge is known for are part of the plan: hunting, gathering, farming and crafting, plus trade runs where you carry goods across the world and defend your route.

It's buy-to-play: you pay once, and the developers say there won't be a cash shop when Early Access opens. The price hasn't been announced. The price tracker keeps the confirmed details, the reported ones and the unknowns apart.

Why we don't publish trade routes, pack prices or rates

Nobody outside the studio has them yet. The Steam Next Fest demo covers four classes, PvP and a new dungeon, and no official trade pack recipes, payouts or theft rules have been published. Numbers copied from the original ArcheAge or ArcheAge: Unchained belong to different games. So the calculators work from your inputs, and we'll only add game data once there's an official source for it, with the date we checked.

Frequently asked questions

Are these ArcheAge Chronicles tools free?
Yes. Every tool is free, works without an account and runs in your browser. There's nothing to install and no sign-up.
Do the tools connect to my game or Steam account?
No. There's no game API and no account connection. You enter your own numbers, such as part prices, pack costs and payouts, and they're saved only in this browser on this device.
Do the calculators include game data like trade routes or pack prices?
No. Early Access hasn't started, and no official trade pack recipes, payouts or route details have been published, so the calculators use your inputs instead of guesses. The PC calculator uses the official requirements from the Steam store page, with a review date.
Is this an official XLGAMES or Kakao Games site?
No. These are independent fan tools made by the team behind Hunter Vault, a personal-finance app. They're not affiliated with or endorsed by XLGAMES or Kakao Games.
How do you keep the price and launch facts up to date?
Each fact on the price tracker shows its source and the date we last checked it. We re-check everything when a price, edition or Early Access date is announced. Last full review: October 21, 2026.
