After many concerns, the Bloober Team proved the world wrong with the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake. While many expected the devs to pick up other Silent Hill entries for remakes, the studio had even greater ambitions. The team recently announced its new survival horror IP, Cronos: The New Dawn. And as per new findings, it takes inspiration from some of the best in the industry.
Cronos director and producer Jacek Zieba has said that the game is picking up cues from Dead Space, Alan Wake, and Resident Evil to whip up something that can shake the survival horror industry.
Why it matters: Cronos: The New Dawn taking cues from Dead Space, Alan Wake, and Resident Evil franchises suggests that Bloober Team is going all out to create the best horror experience.
Speaking in an interview with IGN, Jacek Zieba said that Cronos: The New Dawn will still have its own identity but will combine the best of Dead Space and other franchises.
For instance, the protagonist of Dead Space and the gameplay of Alan Wake will serve as nice cues for the pulse-pounding third-person experience. Therefore, it will be more gameplay-centric but also feature a compelling narrative.
Just like Dead Space has the cut off the limbs mechanic. […] Also like Alan Wake with the flashlight. Besides those, Resident Evil was a big inspiration for us.
– Jack Zieba, Director
The studio loved developing the Silent Hill 2 remake but wanted to do something of its own. Bloober Team plans to combine its vision of the ideal survival horror and its expertise to create something that stands out.
It is worth noting that Cronos: The New Dawn is nowhere near release, as it is yet to be announced. However, we can expect it to arrive next year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
