The wait is over! Bloober Team, the acclaimed Polish studio, announced today the official release date for its highly anticipated new title, Cronos: The New Dawn. The game will launch worldwide on Sept. 5, 2025, and is now available for preorder on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In a surprise announcement during today's Nintendo Direct, the game will also launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

Alongside the launch date reveal, Bloober Team released a haunting new story trailer, packed with chilling environments and narrative teases. The trailer also introduces the concept and secrets of Soul Harvesting, giving players their first real look at the characters they'll encounter on their journey to the past. "The human race - an anomaly, yet the perfect one…" These chilling words set the tone for the psychological and physical horrors that await players in Cronos: The New Dawn.

Bloober Team has released the first extended gameplay video for its highly anticipated sci-fi horror title, Cronos: The New Dawn. This eerie 10-minute showcase offers a gripping deep dive into the game's intense combat, terrifying enemies, and survival mechanics while introducing two of the game's hauntingly distinct environments: Islands in The Mist and The Hospital.

In Islands in The Mist, players navigate a mysterious liminal space where visibility is limited, tension is high, and danger lurks in every fog-drenched corner. Meanwhile, The Hospital delivers a claustrophobic descent into madness, where sterile corridors twist into nightmarish labyrinths, echoing with the remnants of a forgotten past.

Bloober Team has unleashed the first full gameplay trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, the studio's all-new original survival horror IP. This eerie first look at full gameplay showcases THE MERGE, an innovative new mechanic that changes the way players confront enemies, turning every encounter into a mind-bending nightmare and struggle for survival.

Set across two time periods - the grim ruins of a post-apocalyptic future as well as in 1980s-era Poland—Cronos: The New Dawn thrusts players into the decaying district of New Dawn, inspired by real-life Nowa Huta. You play as a Traveller, an agent of the mysterious Collective, emerging from a dystopian future to dive back into time and extract key 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—twisted, body-horror monstrosities born from humanity's darkest nightmares.

What if the world ended in the 1980s? The answer remains a mystery, but Bloober Team is offering a sneak peek of the first episode of the Cronos: The New Dawn dev diary. Premiering during the Future Game Show at the 2025 Game Developers Conference, this electrifying behind-the-scenes video takes you through the making of Bloober Team's all-new survival horror experience. Get ready to uncover some of the secrets lurking within this post-apocalyptic vision of 1980s Poland. In October 2024, Bloober Team, the masterminds behind Layers of Fear, The Medium, Observer, and the SILENT HILL 2 remake, unveiled their newest horror IP, Cronos: The New Dawn.

The game's enigmatic premise has sparked intense curiosity, and now, developers and co-directors Wojciech Piejko and Jacek Zięba have addressed some of the most pressing questions from the community. This exciting video takes a deeper dive into the world of Cronos, revealing more about the game's determined protagonist, the hauntingly desolate future landscape, and the terrifying monsters players will encounter.

KONAMI, a legendary name in the gaming industry, sought a partner who could breathe new life into one of its most iconic franchises—SILENT HILL. Bloober Team was selected for their expertise in horror and atmospheric storytelling, and in 2021, both companies signed a partnership agreement. In October 2022, during the official SILENT HILL Transmission livestream, it was announced that Bloober Team was working on a remake of SILENT HILL 2, widely regarded as one of the best psychological horror games in history.

The success of the remake proved that Bloober Team had perfectly captured the atmosphere and depth of the original while introducing crucial innovations.
