Bloober Team unveiled Cronos: The New Dawn during the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, confirming a fall release on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A new trailer introduced the game’s nightmarish enemies, the Orphans—twisted creatures born from humanity’s darkest fears.
Key details:
- Brutal Combat: Players must burn defeated enemies to prevent them from merging into stronger foes.
- Inspired Setting: The post-apocalyptic world draws from Poland’s Nowa Huta district, blending Brutalist decay with reality-warping horrors.
- Survival Horror Roots: Combat takes cues from Resident Evil and Dead Space, while difficulty echoes Dark Souls.
- Narrative Hooks: The trailer teases a mysterious traveler’s logs, hinting at deeper lore.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, Cronos: The New Dawn aims to push Bloober’s signature psychological horror into sci-fi territory. Wishlists are now open on all platforms.
