Bloober Team Unveils Cronos: The New Dawn

Cronos: The New Dawn is Bloober Team's first original title since their Silent Hill 2 remake, drawing inspiration from survival horror classics such as Silent Hill, Dead Space, and Resident Evil. Set in an alternate 1980s Poland devastated by The Change, players assume the role of the armored Traveler navigating a dangerous world filled with grotesque Orphans that can merge into stronger foes. The game features a unique 'merge system,' real-time inventory management, crafting, and requires players to burn corpses to prevent enemy evolution. Player choices in the past significantly influence the unfolding narrative, adding depth to the time travel element. Critics praise Cronos for its atmospheric design, innovative mechanics, and for advancing the survival horror genre. The main campaign is expected to take around 16 hours to complete.
