Hot on the heels of our preview of Cronos: The New Dawn, Bloober Team have now revealed when you’ll be able to get hands on with the game yourselves, and it’s a lot sooner than you think. Cronos: The New Dawn is coming this September, on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
They shared the news via a new trailer for the game, seen above. In Cronos: The New Dawn, you play as a “Traveller”, working for the enigmatic Collective and are tasked with scouring the wastelands of the future in search of time rifts that will transport you to 1980s-era Poland.
There are a couple of editions to consider – The Standard Edition, which includes the Base Game, a new skin, and curiously, some ammo (is it really that scarce?!) and the Deluxe Edition, which comes with two days early access, additional resources and 3 skins for the main character, as well as a digital artbook and soundtrack.
As mentioned above, we recently previewed the game, with our writer Gyózó playing the opening few hours. He said “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.“
Cronos: The New Dawn releases on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC on September 5th, 2025.
