Cronos: The New Dawn is the latest horror survival game from Bloober Team, known for their recent remake of Silent Hill 2. The game is set to release in fall 2025, as confirmed during the Xbox Showcase, along with a new trailer that offers a look at its gameplay.
The trailer reveals that Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting journey through time and terror. Set in two eras—the decaying future and 1980s Poland—players are plunged into a world inspired by the real Krakow district—Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself.
You play as a Traveler, an agent of the mysterious Collective, emerging from a dystopian future to dive back into time and extract people before they perish in the apocalypse. As you explore a world on the brink of annihilation, you’ll encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans.
In the gameplay video, we get a glimpse of an Orphan nest, showcasing the monstrous nature of the creatures, whose bodies are twisted and can fuse together. This is a danger that players must avoid, as fallen enemies can be used by the living Orphans to become even more powerful and quicker. The only way to prevent this is by burning the bodies.
As players progress, they will also uncover the mystery behind a Predecessor, a previous Traveler, ND 3500, whose cryptic travel diary will help guide the story.
Cronos: The New Dawn is set to launch in fall 2025 for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
