Coming Soon, the Ultimate Survival Test. Don’t Let Them Merge
KRAKOW, Poland – June 8, 2025 – Bloober Team, the developers behind the acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 remake, have announced a Fall 2025 release window for Cronos: The New Dawn, their new original survival horror IP. The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer highlighting intense combat, survival within a hostile nest, terrifying enemies, and the game’s unique merging mechanics.
Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting journey through time and terror. Set in two eras — the decaying future and 1980s Poland — players are plunged into a world inspired by the real Krakow district – Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself. You play as a Traveler, an agent of the mysterious Collective, emerging from a dystopian future to dive back into time and extract people before they perish in the apocalypse. As you explore a world on the brink of annihilation, you’ll encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans.
Don’t Let Them Merge
The new gameplay trailer reveals intense survival moments inside the Orphans’ nest, offering a closer look at these terrifying creatures. Orphans are twisted, body-horror monstrosities born from humanity’s darkest nightmares. The trailer showcases their behaviour — exceptionally aggressive and relentless — turning every encounter into a desperate fight for survival. Most importantly, players must prevent them from merging. As previously shown, defeated enemies must be burned immediately. If not, they risk being absorbed by other foes, triggering a merge that creates an even stronger and faster enemy.
Exploring the Twisted Realms of the New Dawn
Additionally, the exciting new trailer reveals part of the story of a mysterious Predecessor — Traveler ND 3500 — and their cryptic travel log. Players will journey through unsettling post-apocalyptic environments inspired by the existing Polish district – Nowa Huta, where decaying Brutalist architecture is warped and twisted by reality-bending anomalies.
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 onSteam,Epic,Microsoft Store, andPlayStation to receive updates on this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience. Stay tuned for more horrors to follow soon.

Featuring visual upgrades such as ray tracing support, and teases how the stealth system will work
10 Chambers, founded by PAYDAY creator Ulf Andersson, unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Den of Wolvesat PC Gaming Show 2025, highlighting stealth mechanics in a corporate showroom set in dystopian Midway City. The tension escalates as players attempt – and ultimately fail – a high-stakes infiltration, setting the tone for the game’s blend of strategy, improvisation, and chaos.
Den of Wolves is a 4-player co-op heist FPS set in 2097 Midway City, where unregulated corporate power and invasive neurotechnology rule. As criminals for hire in this hyper-capitalistic setting, players execute “unauthorized errands” including industrial espionage, sabotage, assassinations, and data theft.
Following the trailer, the show spotlighted 10 Chambers in a behind-the-scenes studio portrait segment, featuring interviews with Ulf Andersson, Simon Viklund, and Anders Svärd. The team spoke about the game’s most ambitious feature to date: The Dive.
“The Dive is essentially what occurs when you hack into someone’s mind,” explained Andersson. “It allows players to be catapulted from an intense gunfight directly into an entirely different scenario – whether that’s bouncing around in zero gravity or evading monstrous creatures in a Norwegian forest. As long as it’s engaging and collaborative, the possibilities are endless.”
The trailer displays notable visual enhancements, including the use of ray tracing, which significantly improves lighting, reflections, and shadows.
“We continue to work closely with our friends at Unity. Last year, Den of Wolves was one of the flagship games that transitioned to Unity 6, resulting in improved visuals and performance. By now adding ray tracing to the mix – it looks prettier than ever”, says Oscar J-T Holm, co-founder of 10 Chambers.
About 10 Chambers
Founded in 2015 by Ulf Andersson, creator of the PAYDAY franchise, 10 Chambers is a Stockholm-based game studio dedicated to building high-intensity cooperative experiences. Their debut title, GTFO, launched in 2019 to critical acclaim. More info at www.10chambers.com.
During this year’s Xbox Games Showcase, the Rebel Wolves pack and Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed the newest Game Trailer for the upcoming dark fantasy action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker.The showcase trailer also confirmed the game will release in 2026, and is now available to wishlist. The trailer also offers the first glimpse of pre-beta gameplay footage. Watch the Showcase trailer below to follow Coen – a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, human by day and vampire by night – as he comes to grips with his newly acquired abilities.
On June 21, Rebel Wolves will reveal even more details about The Blood of Dawnwalker during the summer solstice – a moment when the Earth’s northern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year, while the opposite hemisphere undergoes its longest night. Shrouded in tales and myths for centuries, the solstice has been seen as a time when the veil between day and night blurs, bringing unexpected outcomes.
The Rebel Wolves pack would like to invite everyone to a special solstice livestream on June 21 at 9 PM CEST (12 PM PDT , 3 PM EDT, 4 AM+1 JST) on the /DawnwalkerGame Twitch channel. The event will reveal approximately 15 minutes of new gameplay content, accompanied by an extended developer commentary. The show will be hosted in English and will be co-streaming friendly – the studio invites everybody to join and share the experience together.
The upcoming 45-minute solstice livestream will shed more light on several key gameplay features already hinted at in the above trailer, including the directional combat system that blends swordfighting, spells, and vampiric powers. The developers will also demonstrate how players navigate Vale Sangora’s diverse locations and further explore the game world and highlight the gameplay differences between day and night, which will have a significant impact on the story and its course.
“It’s been a pleasure to finally show you more of the game, and I want to thank our community for the incredible support. Back in January, when we first revealed the game, we promised to shed more light on the gameplay this summer—and that moment has finally arrived”,says Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves. “We’d like to invite you to join us on 21 June for our Gameplay Reveal Event. You’ll learn more about the abilities Coen gains as he becomes the Dawnwalker – a mysterious being balancing the line between the world of day and the realm of night.”
The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ original dark fantasy saga. Fourteenth-century Europe is engulfed in chaos – bloody wars tear the continent apart, and the Black Death claims a deadly toll. This moment of weakness is seized by a clique of powerful vampires. The time of great change is coming – for everyone.
Play as Coen – a young man who has become a Dawnwalker – a being no longer fully human, yet not entirely a vampire. With just 30 days and nights to save Coen’s family or exact bloody revenge on his sire, regardless of the consequences or the cost of Coen’s thirst for blood. But the most important question for players remains: is it worth sacrificing your humanity for the ones you love?
The Blood of Dawnwalker is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. More details can be found on the official website: dawnwalkergame.com.

Seamless transitions from stations to ship to surface highlighted in all-new gameplay overview with developer commentary
BORDEAUX, France – June 9, 2025 –SpaceCraft, the multiplayer interstellar space sim and automation adventure fromNorthgard, Dune: Spice Wars, and Wartalesdeveloper Shiro Games, debuted new gameplay footage in a developer commentary video during IGN Live 2025. SpaceCraftvoyages among the stars on PC via Steam in late 2025.
A century of warfare has left humanity devastated and reawakened a dormant alien force hidden deep within the Earth known as the Tripods. Their uprising has pushed what’s left of Earth’s population to the brink of extinction. In a last-ditch effort to survive, a remnant of human survivors fled the planet through a mysterious portal, unaware of their destination. Now marooned in a distant and uncharted galaxy, they must rebuild civilization from scratch.
The new gameplay commentary video starts in one of SpaceCraft’s space stations: huge interplanetary hubs of trade activity and resource refinement. Fly a fully customizable ship into open space using elegantly simple controls to chart a trajectory and set propulsion levels. Find new planets, then seamlessly navigate from open space into the upper atmosphere and down to the surface, scanning new mineral structures and flora to identify promising resource nodes.
Back in the hangar, modify any ship to suit the mission at hand. Fit external components like weapons and mining gear to hardpoints, or completely alter the design with new modules. Each change impacts the handling profile and speed of the ship, so carefully consider each addition!
Traverse planets on foot to gather certain materials, taking care to avoid planetary hazards. As teased in the overview, SpaceCraft’s progression curve encourages automation by establishing mining facilities. Once built, networks of resource extractors, cargo ships, and drones allow players to develop full interplanetary industrial enterprises. Team up with other players to form corporations and set up shipping routes to connect each node of the network – the opportunities for optimization are endless!
“SpaceCraftis an ambitious game for us, and one I’ve always dreamed of making,” says lead designer and Shiro Games CEO Nicolas Carnasse. “One of the things Shiro always strives to do is combine big design ideas in a way that just makes sense when players pick it up, and I think SpaceCraftis a perfect example of that philosophy.”
SpaceCraftis set to launch on PC via Steam in late 2025. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and follow SpaceCraft and Shiro Games on X (formerly Twitter).
