PC Demo, Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Edition Out Now for ‘Cronos: The New Dawn’ [Trailer]
Switch 2 fans can finally get their hands on the physical edition of Bloober Team’s Cronos: The New Dawn today. In addition, the developer has also released a new 30-minute demo for Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The Cronos: The New Dawn physical edition for the Switch 2 includes the base game on a game-key card, along with exclusive content: a unique Traveler skin, a cache of valuable digital supplies, and a collectible sticker set inspired by the eerie world of Cronos.
Since the game’s digital launch, Bloober Team has also addressed minor issues reported by players, and implemented several quality-of-life updates on the Nintendo Switch 2 version.
As for the demo, players will experience the intro and first mission of the Traveler, whose goal is to locate a predecessor. This section of the game introduces you to combat, the game’s signature merge mechanic, and the overall oppressive atmosphere. You’ll wield at least two types of weapons, beginning with a basic handgun, the Sword MK-1615, obtained at the start of the game.
And on top of the demo, Bloober Team has also announced for the first time ever, Cronos: The New Dawn will be part of a special Halloween sale with a 15% discount across PC and consoles from now until November 4.
In addition to the Switch 2 and PC, Cronos: The New Dawn is also available digitally on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. And if you haven’t already done so, check out Aaron’s review.
Developer/publisher Black Hand has announced that their upcoming occult wild west game The Dark West will be receiving a playable demo on Steam next week on June 10. In addition, the devs have released a new trailer for the game, which highlights the combat, enemies, and boss battles that define the game’s cruel western landscape.
Set in a cursed frontier where faith clashes with damnation and once-living towns collapse into nightmares, The Dark West is a gritty action RPG shaped by greed, black magic, and the belief that power always comes at a price. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it.
Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.
Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.
