Bloober Team has just dropped a tantalizing gameplay teaser for their upcoming survival horror title, Cronos: The New Dawn. This brief yet atmospheric glimpse introduces players to some of the game’s nightmarish foes and offers a sneak peek at its innovative combat system.

Set against a backdrop where Eastern European brutalist architecture melds seamlessly with retro-futuristic technology, Cronos: The New Dawn crafts a dystopian world teetering between the remnants of the past and the uncertainties of the future. Players step into the shoes of the Traveler, an enigmatic agent working for the shadowy Collective. Tasked with navigating the desolate wastelands of a post-apocalyptic future, your goal is to locate temporal rifts that transport you back to 1980s Poland.

The core gameplay revolves around identifying key individuals from the past who tragically perished in the apocalypse. Armed with the Harvester—a device capable of extracting human essences—you’ll bring these lost souls into the future, where their presence may alter the course of history.

The adversaries you’ll face are grotesque monstrosities born from the ruins of humanity. To survive their relentless onslaught, players must strategically wield an arsenal of melee weapons, futuristic gadgets, and environmental tools. The combat system appears to blend visceral close-quarters engagements with tactical problem-solving, ensuring every encounter feels intense and unpredictable.

Cronos: The New Dawn is expected to launch sometime in 2025. With its gripping blend of psychological horror, time manipulation, and dystopian aesthetics, this game promises to carve out a unique space in the survival horror genre.
