Release Date: September 5, 2025

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game set in a retro-futuristic world on the brink of collapse. You play as The Traveler, an agent sent by a mysterious organization to explore dystopian wastelands and traverse time rifts into the 1980s. Your mission: uncover the truth behind a catastrophic event known as The Change, which has transformed humanity into monstrous beings called “Orphans.”

The game blends intense combat, resource management, and psychological storytelling. Players must scavenge for supplies, craft essential tools, and survive against relentless horrors. Strategic thinking is key—enemies can merge into stronger forms if their bodies aren’t destroyed, and using fire becomes crucial. A unique soul-harvesting mechanic allows you to absorb essences for power at the cost of your sanity, adding layers of risk and reward.

The atmospheric design combines brutalist architecture with futuristic technology, delivering a chilling, immersive experience. Inspired by classic survival horror, the game offers a tense, story-driven journey filled with moral dilemmas and existential dread.
