Bloober Team has announced that Cronos: New Dawn has sold 500K units across all platforms. And, since I’ve finished it, I can wholeheartedly say that it deserves to sell even more. This is one of my GOTY contenders, and it’s a must-play for all horror fans.
Cronos: The New Dawn came out in September 2025. This means that it took two and a half months to hit its 500K goal. The game also has Very Positive reviews on Steam.
Cronos: The New Dawn takes place in a dark world where old, rough buildings mix with strange future tech. According to the devs, you’ll experience an exciting story that connects the past and the future.
In this game, you will assume the role of a Traveler who acts as an agent for the enigmatic Collective. Your task will be to scour the wastelands of the future in search of specific time rifts that will transport you back to 1980s-era Poland.
Players will have to locate key people from the past who perished in the ensuing apocalypse. Using their all-powerful Harvester, players can extract their Essences and have them accompany them into the future.
The enemies you’ll encounter in this game will be nightmarish creatures, born from the remnants of humanity. To defeat them, you’ll have to make full use of your arsenal.
Now I know that the horror genre is a niche, but this is a great game. It has great controls, great gunplay, and an amazing story. Yes, it may not be a “scary” game, but this is irrelevant. What matters is the game itself. And, this right here is an incredible and solid third-person game. This is easily the best game from Bloober Team. So now, I’m really interested in what they’ll come up with next.
Best of all, there is a PC demo you can download and try. So, if you still haven’t tried it, I suggest doing so.
Stay tuned for more!
