Bloober Team’s upcoming title, Cronos: The New Dawn, now has an official release date of September 5, as revealed during the Nintendo Partner Showcase. The game will arrive on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch 2 simultaneously.
Rumors about the September launch emerged earlier after TrueAchievements uncovered data pointing to this date. This adjustment suggests Bloober Team reconsidered their initial Fall 2025 timeframe mentioned during Summer Game Fest, moving the launch forward by several weeks. Fans can now expect the title sooner than anticipated.
Early impressions from Kai’s preview event highlight the game’s blend of Polish cultural themes with sci-fi time-travel elements. Players will navigate a 16-hour journey to prevent a looming disaster, with choices influencing the outcome. The extended runtime sets it apart from shorter survival horror experiences, raising questions about narrative pacing and player impact on the story.
In a recent interview, Lead Level Designer Piotr Tylus discussed collaboration between Cronos and Bloober’s Silent Hill 2 Remake teams: “While we exchange ideas, each project has distinct goals. Think of it as different chefs using the same kitchen—both aim to craft unique dishes.” He emphasized efforts to differentiate Cronos through experimental gameplay and storytelling approaches.
