If its trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase wasn’t enough, Bloober Team’s Cronos: The New Dawn has received another gameplay trailer. It starts slowly enough, with the player, known as the Traveler, steadily walking through a quiet environment. Of course, an Orphan suddenly comes alive, prompting a quick extermination.
They’re not all so easy to deal with, as exemplified by a larger Orphan that appears inside an abandoned hardware shop. Shrugging off hits and attacking with a root-like arm, it eventually begins to merge with a corpse, becoming stronger in the process. Any encounter with the Orphans means not giving them a chance to merge, which is likely easier said than done.
Cronos: The New Dawn launches this Fall for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Resident Evil and Dead Space serve as inspirations, though the storyline revolves around traveling to the past at the behest of the Collective and extracting the Essence of important individuals. Check out the dev diary here for more details.
Bloober Team has also recently announced its development of Silent Hill 1 remake with Konami. You can learn more about that here.
