Hot on Silent Hill 2 Remake, Bloober Team Unveils Original Survival Horror IP That Looks Like a Fun Sci-Fi Nightmare

The Bloober team is chasing its success Silent Hill 2 remake launch with the announcement of a new third-person IP 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,” said CEO Piotr Babieno in a press release.

The nasty time-travel adventure is the first original survival horror game from Bloober, whose launch titles Layers of Fear and The Medium operate largely in the land of slow, sometimes heavy-handed psychological creepiness.

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

“Chronos: The New Dawn is a twisted time travel story set in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic future in 1980s Poland,” the press release continues. “Players will take on the role of a Traveler, an agent of the enigmatic Collective with a mission to extract selected people from the past who did not survive the apocalypse.”

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

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

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