Cronos: The New Dawn (PC) Steam Key

Podrobný popis

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game from Bloober Team, set to drop on September 5, 2025. It’s a standalone title, not part of any franchise, and it’s all about tactical combat, limited resources, and shifting between two timelines to stay alive.

Cronos: The New Dawn Story

You play as a Traveler, sent back by a group called the Collective to pull survivors out of the past before something called “The Change” turns them into monsters. You'll need not only to shoot but also to burn the bodies of fallen enemies, or they’ll come back stronger, fused with whatever’s nearby. Fire’s your friend here, and so is good planning. 

Fight Smart or Die Fast

The combat is brutal, using melee, pistols, and shotguns only, and you can’t waste a single bullet. Healing items are rare, and there’s no easy mode. One punishing playthrough is all you get. Every decision matters, and mistakes stick with you.

Jump Between Two Worlds

One minute you’re in a brutalist 1980s Kraków. The next, a ruined future where humanity barely exists. Using time rifts, you’ll switch between timelines to solve puzzles, open paths, and uncover what went wrong. 

The Harvester, Essences, and the Cost of Power

You’ve got a tool called the Harvester. It lets you rip Essences from people in the past and use them in the future to boost your abilities. Sounds great, until the hallucinations and glitches kick in. Those buffs come with side effects, and the deeper you go, the weirder things get.

Story and Vibe

If you're into Alien, The Thing, Dead Space, 12 Monkeys, or Dark, this is your zone.

Bloober Team calls it a "love letter to survival horror,” saying they’ve built a “strange combination” where differentparts of the game evoke different inspirations: some areas feel like Silent Hill, others like Resident Evil or DeadSpace. But the real twist is the merge system: Bloober’s own mechanic that flips everything on its head and adds a layerno classic ever tried.

The setting pulls from the heavy atmosphere of Nowa Huta’s brutalist architecture, and the soundtrack blends eeriesynths with haunting folk vocals. It’s tense, bleak, and soaked in dread from the first minute.
