The developer behind Silent Hill 2 Remake is firing from all cylinders. After shocking the gaming community by delivering a GOTY contender, Bloober Team got its next project lined up titled Cronos: The New Dawn.
During the Xbox Showcase on October 17, an eerie new trailer dropped. While the name Bloober Team might have meant very little to the general community before Silent Hill 2, they're a studio to pay attention to now.
The trailer has a very strong vibe to it. Set in an alternate post-apocalyptic 1980s Poland, players will control a Traveler, an agent part of the mysterious Collective. You'll have to travel into the past and save dead people that failed to make it during a chaotic world-ending tragedy.
Known as The Change, you'll have to fight against some creepy-looking beasts and abominations putting your reflexes and survival skills to the test.
Unlike Silent Hill 2 Remake, which is a timed-console to PlayStation 5, Cronos: The New Dawn will release on PC (via Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series at the same time in 2025.
Survival horror fans are certainly excited about this one, and how can you not? Bloober Team was an up-and-coming studio but lacked the pedigree of other development teams.
Tasking them with a Silent Hill 2 Remake was a bold move from Konami. One that paid off for all parties. For Bloober, it will let them become a force to be reckoned with and possibly get more ambitious projects off the ground.

For Konami, a nice success story in terms of sales, with the game already selling over 1 million copies.
We'll definitely be paying close attention to further gameplay details the team decides to reveal in the coming months. If they somehow managed to implement the lessons learned from their Silent Hill 2 development period, they might have a GOTY candidate for 2025 in their hands.
