Cronos the New Dawn Switch 2

Time is your deadliest weapon. And your worst enemy.

From Bloober Team — the studio behind the acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake — comes a heart-pounding third-person survival horror unlike anything you've experienced, now built for Nintendo Switch 2.

Inspired by the likes of 12 Monkeys, Dark, Annihilation, and The Thing, Cronos: The New Dawn drops you into a nightmarish world where Eastern European brutalism collides with retro-futurist dread. Burn monsters. Harvest souls. Survive the apocalypse — or become part of it.

You are a Traveler. Your mission: scour the ravaged wastelands of the future, locate time rifts, and slip back into 1980s Poland before everything is lost forever. Every second counts. Every decision matters. And death? Death is just the beginning.

On Nintendo Switch 2, the nightmare travels with you. Play docked on the big screen or undocked in handheld mode — Cronos: The New Dawn runs at a locked 30fps with a crisp, native 1080p handheld image, so the atmosphere stays tense wherever you play.

Key Features

🌍 Survive the Future. Salvage the Past.
Two worlds. One terrifying reality. As a Traveler working for the mysterious Collective, you'll hunt for time rifts that catapult you back to 1980s-era Poland, where the apocalypse is only just beginning. Drawing deep inspiration from brutalist architecture and communist-era Kraków, the atmosphere is as oppressive and unforgettable as the horrors you'll face.

⚔️ Adapt or Perish
Scavenge for resources, manage your limited ammo, and manipulate temporal Anomalies to carve a path through the wasteland. The combat rewards tactical thinking as much as quick reflexes, with weighty, impactful gunplay that raises the stakes in every encounter. One wrong move, one poorly timed decision — and it's over.

🔥 Don't Let Them Merge
Kill an enemy? Great. Now burn the body — fast. Fallen creatures can be absorbed by others through a grotesque process called Merging, rising again as something faster, tougher, and far more deadly. Environmental tools are scattered throughout to help you manage the chaos — because you absolutely do not want them to merge.

👻 Harvester of Souls
Armed with the all-powerful Harvester, extract the Essences of key figures from the past before they're lost to the apocalypse forever. But power comes at a cost. The more Essences you carry, the more haunted your suit becomes — your combat prowess grows, but so does the madness. Whispers in your ear. Flickers at the edge of your vision. How much darkness can you absorb before it consumes you?
