As part of our global preview rollout for Cronos: The New Dawn, we had the opportunity to host exclusive hands-on events in Nowa Huta, Poland and Oakland, California — welcoming select journalists and influencers for an early look at the game. Attendees explored a 2-hour gameplay build, offering a deep dive into combat, exploration, and the world of Cronos. Today, we’re sharing a 35-minute B-roll compilation from that build, showcasing the core gameplay experience exactly as it was presented during the events.
Where It All Began: Hands-On with Cronos: The New Dawn in Nowa Huta
On July 10–11, we hosted an unforgettable hands-on experience inside the iconic Sendzimir Steelworks — the very location that inspired parts of the world in Cronos: The New Dawn. Invited media traveled to Kraków not only to play a two-hour slice of the game, but also to explore the historic industrial complex itself. The goal? To fully immerse them in the gritty, atmospheric vibe of 1980s Poland — a key influence on the game's setting, design, and tone.
