Overview

• Cronos: The New Dawn arrives in early September on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Deluxe Edition early-access window.
• CEO Piotr Babieno says bringing Cronos to Switch 2 reflects his lifelong Nintendo fandom and a desire to “open a new chapter” for horror on Nintendo hardware.
• Bloober teases more Nintendo projects but offers no specifics, characterizing the remarks as intentions rather than announcements.
• Cronos pivots the studio toward action-focused survival horror, set in Kraków’s Nowa Huta where a virus called the Change creates merging monstrosities and time‑rift rescue missions.
• Babieno cites Luigi’s Mansion as inspiration for cozier horror tones and emphasizes that the studio has avoided recent layoffs as part of a Nintendo-like development ethos.
