Silent Hill 2 developer Bloober reveals next game, original sci-fi horror Cronos: The New Dawn

Bloober has announced that its next game will be an original sci-fi survival horror called Cronos: The New Dawn.

Although revealed during today’s Xbox Partner Preview, the game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025.

The game will follow the studio’s recent success with Silent Hill 2 Remake, published by Konami.

Cronos: The New Dawn will feature time travel in a story that incorporates a post-apocalyptic future and 1980s Poland.

As a Traveler, players will explore and survive a deadly wasteland created by a cataclysmic event known as the Change – of course, it is full of “monstrous abominations”.

“Following the success of Silent Hill 2, we are proud to present Cronos, an exciting new IP from Bloober Team,” said Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team. “Our commitment to redefining the horror genre continues with this survival horror title, which represents a natural progression of our creative vision and studio strategy. By fusing the eerie atmosphere of horror with the limitless potential of science fiction, Cronos promises to deliver a new survival experience. We can’t wait to share it with the world in 2025.”

Ahead of Silent Hill 2’s release, Babieno urged fans to trust the studio, despite concerns about the quality of its previous work.

“I dream that the players will trust us,” he said, “but I realize that trust is earned through actions, not through words. That’s why we have a policy of not commenting (on the specifics of the game) and raising hopes. . We want to show our ambitions through our work, so we can’t ask for anything more than ‘give us a chance’.”

Earlier today, Konami announced that Silent Hill 2 has surpassed one million sales in less than a week – certainly Bloober’s most prominent success yet.
