Cronos: The New Dawn Needs to Balance its Setting Carefully

Bloober Team is continuing to expand its portfolio with Cronos: The New Dawn, which is going to have to strike a precarious balance.

Inspired by Resident Evil and earning early comparisons to both Dead Space and Silent Hill, Cronos: The New Dawn sees players utilizing a variety of weapons and tools to make their way through ruined wastelands while fighting against grotesque enemies. Players will be able to choose from a variety of different guns, including pistol and shotgun-style weapons, along with a fire launcher and pulse gun. Weapon swaps are near instantaneous, making for snappy gunplay that relies on quick thinking and tactical strategizing. The Traveler is equipped with a spacesuit that allows players to shift from one platform to another in zero gravity and a unique tool that can reshape pathways, adding a mind-bending twist to the traversal mechanics of Cronos: The New Dawn.
