Bloober Reveals New Cronos Details and Haunted Survival Game

Bloober Team recently provided new insights into their upcoming horror title, Cronos: The New Dawn, and announced another game, I Hate This Place. Cronos: The New Dawn centers around a character known as the Traveler as they navigate a monster-filled post-apocalyptic world, influenced by the catastrophic event known as the Change. Drawing inspiration from films and series like John Carpenter's The Thing, Dark, and 12 Monkeys, the game features a unique blend of sci-fi horror elements, including body horror and challenging gameplay reminiscent of Dark Souls. Additionally, players will encounter grotesque creatures known as The Orphans and experience an engaging storyline filled with unpredictable events.

I Hate This Place, set to be released in Q4 2025, is an isometric open-world survival horror game that follows Elena as she battles for survival against a malevolent force in a harsh wilderness. Combining crafting elements with tense combat, the game will offer a visually distinct experience reminiscent of '80s comic aesthetics.

Players can anticipate a rich narrative experience filled with exploration, combat against eerie creatures, and a post-apocalyptic setting that challenges their ability to survive through unique gameplay mechanics inspired by various horror classics.

Bloober Team is recognized for their work on the Silent Hill 2 Remake, and they are venturing further into original content with Cronos: The New Dawn. This transition highlights their growth and commitment to exploring innovative horror narratives, while I Hate This Place leverages their publishing expertise to expand into new territories, signaling an exciting period for fans of the survival horror genre.
