Cronos: The New Dawn Release Date Set for September 5, Only PS5 Version Getting Physical Release
Good news, horror fans, Bloober Team’s next horror survival game, Cronos: The New Dawn, has a release date, which was revealed alongside a brand-new story trailer.
But that’s not the only surprise, as come this Fall, you’ll be able to traverse the post-apocalypse setting on the go, as the game is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2!
Cronos: The New Dawn Physical Release Only for PS5
Wow, I don’t know about you, but that trailer has me pretty excited for whatever Bloober Team has cooking with Cronos: The New Dawn. As previously mentioned, the game is also heading to the Nintendo Switch 2, and will be launching the same day as the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions, which is on September 5.
Pre-orders are now available for all platforms, with just the PS5 also getting a physical release via Skybound Games, which is available at GameStop and Amazon.
- Standard Edition ($59.99 USD)
- Deluxe Edition – which includes 48-hour early access on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S. ($69.99 USD)
The physical PS5 version will also retail at $59.99 USD, but in addition to being physical, this version of the game will also come with some extra bonuses.

Not a bad deal for PS5 gamers, and definitely a massive incentive to get the physical version over the digital, even if you can play a tad earlier with the digital deluxe edition.
Cronos: The New Dawn launches on September 5, 2025, on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and now, the Nintendo Switch 2. Oh, and in case you haven’t already, be sure to read our first hands-on impression of Cronos: The New Dawn to find out why it might just be one of this year’s best horror games.
Our interview with Bloober Team regarding Cronos should be hitting the site soon, so stay tuned.
