CRONOS The New Dawn is a brand new, sci-fi horror romp from the horror masters at Bloober Team, most recently responsible for the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake. It was first revealed during an Xbox Showcase, but fans have one question. Is CRONOS The New Dawn on Xbox Game Pass?
Cronos The New Dawn is a ‘third-person survival horror set across two distinct time periods. The game itself will place us in both 1980s Communist Poland, and a futuristic wasteland following a pandemic known only as The Change.’
We got to go hands on with the game, and we came away suitably terrified and a little bit impressed. Per our writer, Gyózó – “What initially appeared as a rather formulaic collection of horror tropes, soon gave way to increasingly creepy monster encounters, more and more open level designs, a rather deep and enjoyable combat system, with a fantastic soundscape that really delivers the chills. As today’s youth would put it, it is safe to say that Bloober Team are cooking here, and Cronos: The New Dawn’s first hours tell me this might become one of the most interesting horror games of this generation of consoles. The Polish developers are leaving their comfort zone with this title, and it seems to have been a good bet thus far. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the full game as soon as possible, of which you’ll be sure to read the review on XboxEra when the time comes – with the release date currently expected for Fall 2025.“
What about Game Pass?
At this time, the game is currently slated to release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC later in 2025, but is not currently planned to land on Day One on any subscription service, including Xbox Game Pass. Never say never though! If you’re looking for gameplay without our voiceover, see below.
