Cronos: The New Dawn Will Feature Dismemberment, But Won’t Be Similar to Dead Space
[summaraize]
With Bloober Team achieving a new level of success with the Silent Hill 2 remake, more eyes are now on the studio’s in-developement sci-fi horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn. If you’ve seen the first trailer for the sci-fi survival horror game, chances are it has reminded you of another sci-fi survival horror game called Dead Space.
Today, Bloober Team released the first dev diary for Cronos, and in it, the developers confirmed that the game will feature dismemberment — something the Dead Space franchise is known for.
Bloober Has Their Own Take on Cronos: The New Dawn’s Dismember System
In the Q&A portion of the dev diary, game director Wojciech Piejko confirmed there would be dismemberment in the game and said, “Yes, there is, but it doesn’t work like in Dead Space. We’ve got our own take on combat.”
The dev diary also has a super short snippet of gameplay, which reminded me more of Dead Space (in a good way).
Last year, we had the opportunity to chat with the Bloober Team about Cronos’ combat. Back then, the studio didn’t confirm dismemberment, but rather something to “spice up” the game’s combat, which Piejko compared to Dead Space’s Necromoprh-limb-cutting and Alan Wake’s flashlight.
“Overall, combat in Cronos is leaning towards RE and Dead Space areas but we are still storytellers at heart, so please also expect a strong emphasis on story and atmospheric exploration. The Traveler relies on suit, weapons and abilities, but is still very vulnerable to the monstrosities lurking in the ruins of an old world. You will be outnumbered, and you need to be careful to stay alive. Resources are limited and the monsters hit hard. We’ve also prepared something special to spice up and increase the tension of combat. I can’t reveal much right now but in Dead Space you need to cut-off Necromorphs limbs, in Alan Wake you need to use a flashlight on enemies, and in Cronos you will need to.. wait to see it ;],” Piejko told MP1st.
With how the Silent Hill 2 remake turned out, I’m personally looking forward to Cronos: The New Dawn. The devs did tease that gameplay will be shown soon.
No word yet on when the sci-fi horror game will be released, but it is confirmed for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
