All Enemies Unified: Thrilling Gameplay Awaits in 'Cronos: The New Dawn'

Sega has officially announced the release date for the eagerly anticipated survival horror title "Cronos: The New Dawn," developed by Bloober Team. Set to launch on December 11, 2025, for PlayStation®5 and Nintendo Switch™ 2, fans can now secure their pre-orders starting today. A brand new official website geared towards Japanese audiences has also gone live, inviting players to dive into the chilling world that awaits.

Game Overview

"Cronos: The New Dawn" presents a unique blend of Eastern European Brutalism and retro-futuristic technology, crafting a dystopian universe where players navigate between the past and future, all while engaging in a gripping narrative. As a traveler hired by the mysterious organization known as the "Collective," players must explore a devastated future filled with terrifying creatures and uncover time lifts that transport them back to 1980s Poland. The choices players make during the journey shape the outcome of the storyline, making every decision pivotal.

Stop the Fusion

One of the main mechanics of the game is the horrifying evolution of the defeated enemies. Once vanquished, these adversaries fuse grotesquely with nearby corpses, transforming into faster, stronger, and more dangerous entities. As players traverse this desolate world, they must strategically manage scarce ammunition and resources, as without careful planning, they will find themselves continually besieged by increasingly powerful foes.

Harvesting Souls at a Cost

A vital mission in "Cronos: The New Dawn" is to seek out key characters who have perished in this post-apocalyptic landscape and extract their "Essence" using a potent device called the “Harvester.” However, the more essence players carry, the more intense the curse placed upon their suits becomes. While their combat skills improve, they also risk losing their sanity, plagued by whispering voices and disturbing visions that threaten their mental stability.
