A Haunting World Awaits
The end has come — but the story is just beginning. Cronos: The New Dawn is now available for all players on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. After a critically acclaimed early access phase and a positive reception from players around the world, the full release marks the beginning of a bold new era in survival horror genre.
A Bold New Chapter in Survival Horror
Following the Sept. 3 global pre-release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), Bloober Team is thrilled to announce that Cronos: The New Dawn is now also digitally available on Nintendo Switch 2.
From the acclaimed developers of the SILENT HILL 2 remake, Bloober Team presents Cronos: The New Dawn — a third-person survival horror experience like no other. Set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland, the game unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
A New Survival Horror Game Acclaimed Worldwide
Since its Early Access launch, Cronos: The New Dawn has received widespread praise from international media outlets, with reviews going live as the embargo lifted. Critics have highlighted the game’s distinctive storytelling and gameplay, noting its unique spin on the survival horror genre. It has been awarded high scores and strong endorsements across the board. As Windows Central writes: “Cronos: The New Dawn is the best horror franchise debut in over a decade.”
Physical Editions Coming Soon to Nintendo Switch 2
Starting Sept. 5, the physical Standard Edition of the game for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC — created in collaboration with EMEA distributor Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe—will be available at major retailers across the EMEA region and Australia.
In the Americas, pre-orders are now live for the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition, priced at $59.99 and produced in partnership with Skybound Games, the physical distributor for the region.
Each physical copy includes the standard base game, a unique Traveler skin, access to a cache of valuable digital supplies, and a set of collectible physical stickers inspired by the haunting world of Cronos.
