NWay, a studio founded by Grand Theft Auto creator Dave Jones (http://joystiq.com/tag/dave-jones) and formerRealtime Worlds (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/realtime-worlds) president Tony Harman, is bringing a new action RPG calledChronoBlade (http://chronoblade.com/) to browsers, Ouya (http://joystiq.com/tag/ouya), iOS and Android. To throw another big name onto the pile, the game is being designed by Stieg Hedlund, the designer behind Diablo 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/diablo-ii).

ChronoBlade combines traditional loot-collecting action RPG concepts with 2D beat-em-up gameplay. The game takes place in a "multiverse" setting consisting of many different dimensions, allowing it to include styles ranging from medieval fantasy to steampunk.

A demo should launch on Ouya next week, and an open beta of the browser version is expected to launch later this month. Check out a developer diary after the break.
