Finally, after months of teasing, Bloober Team released the first gameplay for Cronos: The New Dawn, their upcoming survival horror shooter. 

Horror fans will be in for a treat, as the gameplay looks to be taking some heavy inspirations from some of the biggest horror games today. 

Cronos: The New Dawn Gameplay Teases Monster Merging Mechanics

We’re definitely feeling this one, and it’s very clear that Bloober Team has taken much of what they learned from their work on the Silent Hill 2 Remake and applied it here. It has a lot of those vibes going on, along with some clear inspiration from both Dead Space and the Resident Evil franchise. 

What’s most interesting, though, is one of the mechanics they’re teasing, where they tell viewers not to let them (the monsters) merge. We can see this very thing happen, with a monster absorbing a dead one to evolve into something much more terrifying. We assume this is the special mechanic that the studio teased to us in our interview with them from last year. It certainly is one that would “spice up” the gameplay, and it’ll be interesting to see just how far it goes. 

At the moment, Cronus: The New Dawn has no release date other than a target 2025 window, and it will be arriving on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
