Bloober Team has released the first developer diary for their upcoming sci-fi horror shooter Cronos: The New Dawn. Revealed during the Future Games Show at the 2025 Game Developers Conference, the video features co-directors Wojciech Piejko and Jacek Zięba discussing gameplay mechanics while also showing new footage of Cronos in action.

Inspired by Terry Gilliam‘s 12 Monkeys and John Carpenter, Cronos is put players in the role of a Traveler, an agent of the enigmatic Collective with a mission to extract selected people who didn’t survive the apocalypse from the past. To complete the Collective’s mission, players will need to survive a deadly wasteland created by a cataclysmic event known as the Change, filled with monstrous abominations that will challenge players’ combat abilities.

Cronos: The New Dawn is currently slated for a 2025 release for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

Bloober Team also announced all-new isometric survival horror experience I Hate This Place, inspired by Skybound’s Eisner award-nominated comic book series created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin.
