Cronos The New Dawn Revealed in Deep Dive Trailer Ahead of September Launch

Bloober Team released a new deep dive trailer for Cronos The New Dawn, highlighting the game’s story and its cast. The trailer confirms a Switch 2 version and sets a launch date of September 5, 2025. A character named The Warden stands out, described as a cross between the game’s hero and a classic horror foe.

Until now the game was tied to PS5 and Xbox Series X S. A recent Partner Direct confirmed the Switch 2 release as well. The team says players will meet many characters, and they emphasize a human story behind the gore. The release timing places Cronos against other late 2025 horror titles, testing whether Bloober can build on its Silent Hill 2 reputation.

The trailer signals a shift for Bloober Team, leaning into character and plot to stand out in a crowded horror market. If the storytelling holds up, Cronos could break away from the studio's earlier pacing criticisms and win over players who crave a strong narrative alongside scares.

Expanding to Switch 2 widens the audience but invites new questions about performance and control. If the team delivers a compelling cast and well-paced scenes, the game could widen Bloober’s appeal; if not, fans may see it as another gore-first title. The Shadow of Silent Hill 2 lingers, and Cronos will be measured against that legacy as reviews begin to roll in.

Highlights

The wait for September will tell if the story can keep up with the scares.
