Cronos: The New Dawn Presents a Bold New IP

Known for acclaimed horror experiences like Layers of Fear, The Medium, and the Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team took a daring step with Cronos: The New Dawn. Unlike their collaborations, this project was developed independently, blending survival horror with elements of science fiction.

Set in Krakow’s Nowa Huta district, the game introduces a unique monster-combining mechanic that offers fresh gameplay while paying homage to classic horror design. Despite high expectations following Silent Hill 2, the game has maintained an 88% positive rating on Steam three months after launch.

The game has also earned multiple nominations, including:

• Best Audio at the Golden Joystick Awards
• Best Studio nomination for Bloober Team
• Featured on numerous “Top Games to Play in 2025” lists

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno expressed pride in the milestone, noting that launching a new IP always carries risks. “It’s gratifying to see Cronos reach such a wide audience—proving that survival horror still captures players’ interest,” Babieno said.

Cronos: The New Dawn is now available on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC.
