Cronos: The New Dawn will be set in two locations - a 1980s communist Poland and a futuristic wasteland known as The Change. We got to see both in the reveal trailer. 

Players will play as a Traveler acting as an agent for the mysterious Collective, which are tasked with scouring the wastelands of the future in search of specific time rifts that will transport you back to 1980s-era Poland.

Bloober Team also hint that Cronos: The New Dawn is a challenging horror game where every encounter can be potentially dangerous. Players will have to strategies and plan ahead and to defeat all the nightmarish creatures, you'll have to use your full arsenal.

Chronos: The New Dawn will feature combat, unlike Bloober Team's original IPs like The Medium and Layers of Fear

Interestingly, this will be Bloober's first original game to feature actual combat. None of the studio's previous titles (The Medium, Layers of Fear, Blair Witch) featured traditional combat. Silent Hill 2 is one of the few but it's a remake of the classic which featured melee combat and shooting originally.

It will certainly be interesting to see more of Cronos: The New Dawn in the coming months.
