Players can expect new maps, new perks, new specialists, new weapons, and new enemies in the coming months following launch,” said Bryan Wynia, Creative Director at Tripwire Interactive. “We are incredibly excited to share what we have been working on with all of our fans. We look forward to fighting through the hordes of Zeds alongside you. Make sure to stick together and fight to the very last bullet, we will see you on the battlefield!

Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall.

Deadly Weapons– From flamethrowers to shotguns to katanas, players will have an expansive arsenal at their disposal, fully customizable with hundreds of mods, gadgets, and skills to choose from to fit their unique brand of bloodletting.

Dangerous Locations – Players will drop into a variety of treacherous hot zones to contain further spread of the Outbreak. Interactive environments give players dynamic advantages by activating turrets, fans, and other devastating traps.

More Gore – The M.E.A.T. System returns to deliver even more realistic carnage. Featuring additional points of dismemberment and persistent blood, the game responds to attacks with gruesome authenticity.

Don’t Let Them Merge

In this latest reveal, players can get a closer look at the much-anticipated “Merge” mechanic in action. In Cronos: The New Dawn, fallen enemies, known as The Orphans, don’t stay dead for long! If players fail to burn their bodies, these fallen monsters can be absorbed by nearby Orphans. Through a grotesque process known as Merging, enemies transform into faster, stronger, and more horrifying abominations, gaining new abilities and becoming even more formidable in combat, creating terrifying new nightmares for The Traveler to overcome.

A Traveler Through Time

Players follow The Traveler in action, an agent of the mysterious Collective who emerges from a dystopian future to journey back through time. Their mission: to extract individuals before they perish in the apocalypse.

Guided by the cryptic travel log of a mysterious predecessor, Traveler ND 3500, players will explore unsettling post-apocalyptic environments inspired by real-world locations, including the Kraków district of Nowa Huta. Here, decaying Brutalist architecture is warped by reality-bending anomalies.

The video also gives players a closer look at the game’s unique approach to time travel, as The Traveler navigates two time periods – the decaying future and 1980s Poland – thrusting players into the decaying district of New Dawn, inspired by real-life Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself.

While exploring a world on the edge of annihilation, players will encounter the grotesque and nightmarish enemies known as The Orphans… twisted remnants of a world undone.

Face the Terror

In addition, the extended gameplay video offers players a chilling glimpse of one of the game’s formidable bosses, the ominous entity known only as Terror. This encounter sets the tone for the psychological and physical horrors that await.

Promising a deeply atmospheric experience, blending psychological horror with innovative mechanics and a rich, time-twisting narrative, Cronos: The New Dawn’s newly released footage offers a tantalizing taste of what’s to come when the game launches this Fall.

Cronos: The New Dawn is set for release in Fall 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam and Epic. Wishlist now on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation to receive updates on this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience. Stay tuned for more horrors to follow soon.

Wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin releases first major update: Spirit of Customer Service

New customers, quests, trinkets, species, features, cosmetics, Achievements, and a whole new district to uncover!

London, England – July 23rd, 2025 — “Best Small Studio” indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios is delighted to reveal that their ‘Very Positive’ rated wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin has just released its first major update post-launch with Spirit of Customer Service. This latest 1.1 version adds upwards of two hours of new content – though a lot more if you’re a completionist!

The Spirit of Customer Service update adds 35 new trinkets, a mysterious new customer called The Spirit of Lost Things – who initiates their own bespoke questline, and a new quest for fan favorite lizard man Donoval. You could call it a sequel for Donoval!

That’s not all, as this 1.1 update adds a new district with the tourist trap Follybrink. If things are getting too hectic for you, don’t despair, as we’ve added an all new Shop Shut sign, allowing you to stop all customer traffic, make your business invite-only, or open as usual. There’s also new paperdolls, i.e. stranger Spiritfolk who will turn up at your shop alongside the rest of the colourful cast – which includes beloved returning characters like Redoir, Talmara, and Aunty. Completionists will also enjoy that there are seven new Achievements and three new cosmetic sets including a Summer theme, Spirit theme and a new Ambassador set!

On top of this we also have a new upcycling feature which allows you to choose from  trinkets all around the workshop, rather than only those in your stash or immediate viewpoint.

“As we enter Trash Goblin’s post-launch era we wanted to continue to build our cozy craftsgoblin community and keep current goblins tinkering by adding more content,” said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios. “We’ve been listening to player feedback and know what people want. We saw people were having Donoval withdrawals and thought ‘We can’t have that! We need more Donoval!’ Well now we have that and a whole lot more! We’d like to thank our community by continuing to offer more trash – which is goblin for ‘treasure!’”
