In a recent leak, insider Lunatic Ignus has shared exclusive gameplay details about Cronos: The New Dawn, the upcoming project from Bloober Team, the developers behind the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake. The leak provides new insight into the gameplay mechanics, particularly the unique exploration system and the challenging nature of the game.
According to the leak, Cronos: The New Dawn is a sci-fi horror title that will heavily focus on exploration and combat. Players can expect a demanding gameplay experience, where both the combat encounters and exploration are said to be quite difficult. The game introduces a core loop that blends future and past exploration, allowing players to manipulate time in order to progress.
The central mechanic involves finding time anomalies in the future, which players must use to travel back to the past. In these past sequences, players will be tasked with collecting “souls,” a key component that seems to play a significant role in the game’s progression. The exploration aspect of Cronos: The New Dawn is further expanded by the presence of 17 main locations that players will need to navigate.
While Bloober Team has not officially confirmed these details, the leak suggests that Cronos: The New Dawn will offer a fresh take on sci-fi horror, combining time travel with atmospheric and challenging gameplay.
Cronos: The New Dawn is currently set to launch in 2025. It is confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
