Bloober Team is chasing its success Remake of Silent Hill 2 launch with the announcement of a new IP and third-person survival horror game: Cronos: The New Dawn.

“Our commitment to redefining the horror genre continues with this survival horror title, which represents a natural progression of our creative vision and our studio’s strategy,” says CEO Piotr Babieno in a press release.

The nasty time-traveling adventure is the first original survival horror game from Bloober, whose titles Layers of Fear and The Medium operate heavily in the land of slow-paced, sometimes ponderous psychological creep.

But a new cinematic trailer suggests that Cronos: The New Dawn will be more aggressively nauseating than that, with HR Giger-thin beasts and a desolate zero-gravity environment.

“Cronos: The New Dawn is a twisted tale of time travel set in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic future in 1980s Poland,” the press release continues. “Players will assume the role of a traveler, an agent of the enigmatic Collective on a mission to extract select individuals who did not survive the apocalypse of the past.”

“To complete the Collective’s mission, players will have to survive a deadly wasteland created by a cataclysmic event known as the Shift, filled with monstrous abominations that will challenge players’ combat skills,” reads the press release.

As a huge fan of the early Alien movies and, in theory, of atrocious wastelands, I can’t wait to let Bloober’s evil polishes try to kill me when Cronos: The New Dawn launches on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025.

I don’t say this lightly, but this Steam Next Fest survival horror inspired by Silent Hill is giving the Bloober Team remake a big run for its money.
