The latest offering from Bloober Team, titled Cronos: The New Dawn, has been showcased with a new trailer that reveals more unsettling elements of its gameplay and distinctive setting. This intriguing horror game combines science fiction with psychological elements, presenting players with a unique experience in a world that feels both familiar and disturbingly alien.
Two timelines unraveling
Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two different temporal settings: a decaying, post-apocalyptic future and 1980s Poland. This narrative approach allows the game to tap into the rich background that Bloober Team is known for, reminiscent of their previous title, The Medium. Players will navigate between a dystopian future and a meticulously recreated version of the Nowa Huta district in Krakow, creating a stark contrast that heightens the tension throughout the game.
Immersion in a dark atmosphere
With a runtime of just over a minute and a half, the latest trailer offers glimpses into the gameplay, showcasing a mix of exploration and combat scenes intertwined with narrative moments. This glimpse into the game highlights the oppressive and dark atmosphere that Cronos: The New Dawn aims to create, demonstrating Bloober Team’s evolution in the horror genre.
Playing as the Traveler
In this game, players take on the role of a Traveler, an agent of the enigmatic Collective. The Traveler emerges from a dystopian future to journey back in time, attempting to save individuals from their impending doom during the apocalypse. As players explore a world on the brink of destruction, they will encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans, adding to the game’s chilling ambiance.
Survival against grotesque foes
The new gameplay trailer reveals moments of extreme survival within the lair of the Orphans, offering a closer look at these terrifying creatures. These twisted monstrosities display relentless and aggressive behaviors, challenging players to think strategically. A key gameplay element involves preventing the Orphans from merging with one another by incinerating defeated foes swiftly, or else they may resurrect in even more horrifying forms.
A cryptic narrative unfolds
Additionally, the trailer hints at the story of a predecessor, the Traveler ND 3500, through a cryptic travel diary. This narrative thread adds depth to the game, inviting players to piece together the history and mysteries surrounding the characters and their environment. Cronos: The New Dawn is set to release this autumn on platforms including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
