First gameplay impressions of Cronos: The New Dawn - sci-fi survival meets psychological horror

The Bloober team shows gameplay from Cronos: The New Dawn for the first time - and the dark sci-fi mix of survival, exploration and horror does not bode well for the future of humanity.

After their success with The Medium and the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the studio has ventured into its own sci-fi universe: In Cronos: The New Dawn, players fight for the survival of a human colony on a distant planet that has sought refuge on Earth after a global catastrophe. But the new world is not a safe place.

Between crumbling facilities, spooky surroundings and menacing creatures, an oppressive scenario unfolds that combines horror, isolation and moral dilemmas.

Focus on immersion and psychological tension

The trailer gives a first insight into the dark environment and the tactical battles in third-person perspective. The developers are focussing on a combination of narrative depth and intense atmosphere - typical Bloober. Player decisions should have a strong influence on the course of the story.

In addition, the video not only shows the new combat system with brutal melee weapons, but also disturbing enemies that look like the spawn of a dimensional rift. Destroyed architecture distorts reality and Cronos plays with the disintegration of order and reality both visually and in terms of content.

Cronos: The New Dawn is due to be released in 2025, but so far you can only be satisfied with the gameplay trailer. But there's no need to worry, we'll keep you up to date as soon as news is announced.
