Cronos: The New Dawn Gamescom Trailer

At Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Bloober Team unveiled a chilling new cinematic trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, and it’s absolutely steeped in atmosphere. The trailer opens from a cat’s-eye view — an eerie, ground-level perspective that turns the familiar into something surreal. As if the trailer wasn’t enough, The Traveler made a dramatic appearance on stage in full cosplay — stepping out of the void and into the spotlight, blurring the line between the game and reality.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game developed by the renowned horror studio Bloober Team, best known for the critically acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 Remake.

The game is built around a powerful, original narrative that unfolds in New Dawn – an abstract reinterpretation of the real Nowa Huta district in Kraków, Poland. The story is told across two contrasting timelines: a post-apocalyptic future and the gritty industrial reality of the 1980s. This unique setting blends retro realism with dystopian sci-fi and a retro futuristic atmosphere, creating a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and psychological depth.

At this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, a stunning new cinematic trailer premiered on the main stage — featuring a surprise appearance by none other than The Traveler.

The trailer immerses us in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, beginning with a mysterious sequence that follows the movements of a cat through the desolate landscape. From there, it transitions into cinematic shots of The Traveler – the game’s central figure – whose journey we’ll follow throughout the game. We’re shown gripping, high-stakes encounters as The Traveler faces off against The Orphans — terrifying creatures that haunt this broken world. All of this plays out against the haunting soundtrack of “Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust” by This Mortal Coil, heightening the sense of mystery and atmosphere.

Cronos: The New Dawn is scheduled for release on Sept. 5, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, PC (via Steam and Epic), and Switch 2.
