Bloober Team, the studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake, has revealed the first gameplay trailer for their upcoming original survival horror IP, Cronos: The New Dawn. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic future and 1980s-era Poland, where players take on the role of a Traveller, an agent of the mysterious Collective, tasked with extracting key people before they perish in the apocalypse. The game's unique feature, THE MERGE, allows downed enemies to merge with existing ones, creating more robust and more challenging monstrosities. Cronos: The New Dawn is set to release later in 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The game promises a thrilling story, cryptic secrets, and a creeping sense of dread, with a soundtrack by award-winning composer Arkadiusz Reikowski. Bloober Team is known for creating deep and immersive horror games, with a portfolio that includes the Layers of Fear series, Blair Witch, Observer: System Redux, and The Medium.
