Bloober dev says Cronos: The New Dawn is a "treat" with Resident Evil-style action and, screw it, cats as the team moves past Silent Hill 2: "No more James Sunderland, running around the place with his wooden plank"

After the success of Silent Hill 2 Remake, Bloober Team is embracing the freedom of creating a game from whole cloth and treating itself with Resident Evil-like action horror, Polish influences, and cats in its new sci-fi horror game Cronos: The New Dawn. Hell yeah.

Bloober Team has been candid about its intent to make Cronos: The New Dawn lean into action horror as opposed to the slow, creeping psychological horror that defines Silent Hill 2. Cronos co-director Wojciech Piejko told GamesRadar+ in April that the game "is more Resident Evil-ish" than Silent Hill-ish, despite its "deep psychological story."
