Silent Hill Remake Devs Dare to Dream (of Space Nightmares): Cronos: The New Dawn Lands September 2025
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Bloober Team, fresh off the Silent Hill 2 remake, is launching *Cronos: The New Dawn*, a sci-fi horror game that looks set to scare us all on September 5, 2025 and will be available on all major current-gen consoles.
Right, so Bloober Team, the wizards behind the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, are chucking another log onto the fire – this one's called *Cronos: The New Dawn*, and it's looking like a proper sci-fi horror romp. Seems they've locked down a release date of September 5, 2025. Not only that, but our spacefaring nightmare is also heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the already announced PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
Now, Bloober Team's history is... let's just say *varied*. Before the *Silent Hill 2* remake, their track record was a bit like a dodgy potion – occasionally bubbling with promise, but mostly just resulting in a mess. Remember *Basement Crawl*? Oof. But *Silent Hill 2* has definitely upped their game. It appears this new adventure, *Cronos: The New Dawn*, could be their chance to cement themselves as masters of the genre. And what's not to like, from the looks of it they will be delivering their psychological horror in space, a formula that has worked many times before.
Here's the skinny on the *Cronos: The New Dawn* release:
* **Release Date:** September 5, 2025 * **Platforms:** PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC * **Standard Edition:** $59.99 * **Deluxe Edition:** $69.99 (reportedly includes 48-hour early access, but that's not officially confirmed yet)
Skybound Games is also doing a physical PS5 edition of *Cronos: The New Dawn*, and that beauty will come with a sticker set and some bonus in-game goodies, because who doesn't love stickers? The physical edition will also include an exclusive traveller skin and extra in-game supplies, hopefully enough to survive a bloody alien encounter.
So, why the Nintendo Direct reveal? Well, it seems *Cronos: The New Dawn* is spreading its tentacles (metaphorically speaking, unless there *are* actual tentacles, in which case, fair play) to the Switch 2. Nice move, Bloober Team, gettin' it on every platform to make sure no one misses out on the chance to get scared senseless. That said, word on the street is that only the Standard Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and no physical version has been announced for the system, so keep that in mind if you are planning on playing on Nintendo's new handheld.
Pre-orders are live on digital storefronts now, so you can chuck your money at the screen and secure your copy. If *Cronos: The New Dawn* sticks the landing, Bloober Team could be riding a wave of success, setting them up nicely for their *other* projects, including that *Silent Hill* remake and plenty of other gaming projects that they have on the horizon.
*Cronos: The New Dawn* is developed by Bloober Team and published by Bloober Team. It uses the Unreal Engine.
