Coming Soon, the Ultimate Survival Test. Don’t Let Them Merge.
Bloober Team, the developers behind the acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 remake, have announced a Fall 2025 release window for Cronos: The New Dawn, their new original survival horror IP. The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer highlighting intense combat, survival within a hostile nest, terrifying enemies, and the game’s unique merging mechanics.
Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting journey through time and terror. Set in two eras — the decaying future and 1980s Poland — players are plunged into a world inspired by the real Krakow district - Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself. You play as a Traveler, an agent of the mysterious Collective, emerging from a dystopian future to dive back into time and extract people before they perish in the apocalypse. As you explore a world on the brink of annihilation, you’ll encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans.
Watch the new 'Survive The Nest' Trailer
Orphans – Destroy the Nest, Don’t Let Them Merge
The new gameplay trailer reveals intense survival moments inside the Orphans’ nest, offering a closer look at these terrifying creatures. Orphans are twisted, body-horror monstrosities born from humanity’s darkest nightmares. The trailer showcases their behaviour — exceptionally aggressive and relentless — turning every encounter into a desperate fight for survival. Most importantly, players must prevent them from merging. As previously shown, defeated enemies must be burned immediately. If not, they risk being absorbed by other foes, triggering a merge that creates an even stronger and faster enemy.
Exploring the Twisted Realms of the New Dawn
Additionally, the exciting new trailer reveals part of the story of a mysterious Predecessor — Traveler ND 3500 — and their cryptic travel log. Players will journey through unsettling post-apocalyptic environments inspired by the existing Polish district – Nowa Huta, where decaying Brutalist architecture is warped and twisted by reality-bending anomalies.
Cronos: The New Dawn is set for release in Fall 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam and Epic. Wishlist now on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation to receive updates on this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience. Stay tuned for more horrors to follow soon.
