Just a bit before the launch of Cronos: The New Dawn, we have a new taste of what Cronos: The New Dawn is going to offer up
Just as we get closer to the launch of Cronos: The New Dawn, we are getting a new look at the new breed of horror on the way to us all. September 5th is not too far off for us to see if Bloober Team is going to make another massive hit on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. It does feel like they have a good record in all of this. Which is why it is fun to see that Gamescom is offering up a new and cinematic look at Cronos: The New Dawn and why we should give it a chance. Even if it does feel like they are leaning into a normal trope to try and get more gamers out there, to even give the game a chance. As long as you are a fan of cats and want to see if you can pet them in the game. You know, the usual way to make sure everyone knows who the hero is and trick people into thinking something is vastly different than it is.
Okay, that might be a bit much to dig into for Cronos: The New Dawn, but there does feel like there is more of a focus on cats in this video for the game than there has been before now. Especially since this one is all about the look and feel of the game, and less on the actual gameplay. Even if there is a little of that mixed in here for us to look at. This is all about looking at the new horrors that the Traveler will encounter and how we will have to manipulate time in the game to get the outcome humanity wants out there. Even if that does mean we have to cram more cats into Cronos: The New Dawn than we should need in general. Again, not sure why that is as big a focus here in the game now as it was before. Have a look at it all just below these words and see if you are in agreement or if we are following the wrong thread for this one instead.
Cronos: The New Dawn — A New Breed Of Horror
Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game developed by the renowned horror studio Bloober Team, best known for the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake.
The game is built around a powerful, original narrative that unfolds in New Dawn — an abstract reinterpretation of the real Nowa Huta district in Kraków, Poland. The story is told across two contrasting timelines: a post-apocalyptic future and the gritty industrial reality of the 1980s. This unique setting blends retro realism with dystopian sci-fi and a retro futuristic atmosphere, creating a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and psychological depth.
The trailer immerses us in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, beginning with a mysterious sequence that follows the movements of a cat through the desolate landscape. From there, it transitions into cinematic shots of The Traveler — the game’s central figure — whose journey we’ll follow throughout the game. We’re shown gripping, high-stakes encounters as The Traveler faces off against The Orphans — terrifying creatures that haunt this broken world. All of this plays out against the haunting soundtrack of “Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust” by This Mortal Coil, heightening the sense of mystery and atmosphere.
Cronos: The New Dawn is scheduled for release on Sept. 5, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Switch 2.

Skip on down to the comment section to give us all of the discussion you want to offer up for it all.
