The Most Unique Horror Game Coming in 2025? | Cronos: The New Dawn Preview

Step into the brutalist nightmare of Cronos: The New Dawn – Bloober Team’s new sci-fi horror game launching this September. In this video, I break down everything we know so far: story details, gameplay mechanics, release info, inspirations, and why this might be the most unique horror game of 2025.

Think Dead Space meets Silent Hill with time travel, merging enemies, and a collapsing world filled with psychological tension.

🔦 From the merging system that forces you to burn your enemies…
🧠 To a narrative rooted in regret, timelines, and psychological damage…
🎮 This is not your typical horror game.

👇 Let me know in the comments — is Cronos on your radar, or are you waiting for reviews?
