At today’sXbox Partner Previewevent, Bloober Team announced a brand new horror title with a sci-fi twist. Cronos: The New Dawn comes to Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

Bloober has been making waves recently with theSilent Hill 2 remakewhich has reportedlysold over a million copies in a week since launch. This new title, Cronos: The New Dawn is developed for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 and will be Bloober’s first new IP in survival horror. The comments originally thought we were getting anotherDead Spacetitle, which is a testament to the vibes of the trailer. The gameplay switched between two distinct time periods and involved a menacing game of chess.Bloober are also known forThe Mediumwhich received mixed reviews, and the more critically acclaimedLayers of Fearseries. Personally I was also impressed withThe Blair Witch Project despite some unfortunate gameplay bugs, so I’m looking forward to seeing what Bloober Team can cook up from scratch. Xbox Wire have published a blogpost of all the games announced during the event, and tell us that the game is set in"both 1980s Communist Poland, and a futuristic wasteland following a pandemic known only as The Change."
