Bloober Team, a Poland-based game developer known for creating horror games, has released an extended gameplay video for its upcoming sci-fi horror title, "Cronos: The New Dawn." The 10-minute video showcases the game's intense combat, survival mechanics, and two distinct environments: "Islands in The Mist" and "The Hospital." The game features a "Merge" mechanic where fallen enemies can transform into more formidable creatures if not burned, creating a challenging and ever-evolving threat. Players control The Traveler, an agent from a dystopian future who journeys back in time to extract individuals before they perish in the apocalypse. The game features a unique approach to time travel, allowing players to navigate two time periods and explore post-apocalyptic environments inspired by real-world locations. "Cronos: The New Dawn" is set for release in Fall 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and Epic. The game promises a deeply atmospheric experience, blending psychological horror with innovative mechanics and a rich, time-twisting narrative. Bloober Team is an award-winning studio known for its work on the Layers of Fear series, Blair Witch, Observer: System Redux, and The Medium. The studio's most recent project, a remake of the iconic horror game SILENT HILL 2, has received widespread acclaim.
