After the success of Silent Hill 2 Remake, Bloober Team is back with Cronos: The New Dawn. This survival horror game is clearly inspired by Dead Space, and if EA is not interested in making a new one, it looks like Bloober Team is ready to pick up the slack.
The game is slated for 2025 for PC and current-generation consoles, and we have our first look at the technical side for the PC version with system requirements for Cronos: The New Dawn.
Cronos: The New Dawn System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 – 64-bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-8400F, Intel Core I5-8600K AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel Core i7-10700K AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 AMD Radeon RX6800 XT |
| DirectX 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 50 GB | 50 GB |
Sadly, the requirements are a bit basic at the moment and don’t give us a lot of details of what to expect at different resolutions, upscaling methods, and target framerates. For now, an RTX 3080 paired with a Ryzen 5 3600X is recommended for what I assume is 1080p and 60 FPS, which is the default recommended preset for a lot of modern titles.
On the minimum side, you need a GTX 1080, which leads me to believe that players will have the option to disable ray-tracing, which I’m sure this Unreal Engine 5 title will have. The game looks fantastic, and if Silent Hill 2: Remake is anything to go by, you can expect a demanding release for PC.
Apart from that, you need 50 GB of free space to install Cronos: The New Dawn.
Cronos: The New Dawn Release Date
Cronos: The New Dawn is coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PS5, and the Xbox Series S|X sometime in 2025.

I’m sure these requirements will be updated near release with a better picture of what we can expect for different target resolutions and frame rates.
