Bloober Team’s Cronos: The New Dawn has officially sold half a million copies

Starting off as a bit of a mixed bag of a developer, Bloober Team have slowly but surely proven themselves in the horror genre, with the recent release of Silent Hill 2 Remake in particular showcasing their chops. Even without the Silent Hill name however, the team have shown that they understand the genre, with their new original IP Cronos: The New Dawn having now sold over half a million copies.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the devs at Bloober Team confirmed that “500 000 Travelers are already paving the path through the unforgiving world, distorted between timelines! Here's to another incredible milestone for #CronosNewDawn — thank you from the bottom of our hearts! The vocation continues!”

For the uninitiated, Cronos: The New Dawn is a 3rd person survival horror experience in which players must “survive the brutal wastelands of the future, fight nightmarish merging creatures and jump back in time to harvest souls as you seek to uncover the origins of the apocalypse that wiped out humanity.”

Released in September of this year, the game saw solid reviews from critics, though stronger praise from players themselves owing to its unique atmosphere and vibes.

While Cronos: The New Dawn still has a ways ahead of it if it wants to surpass Silent Hill 2 Remake’s 2.5 million copies sold, half a million in just a few months represents a strong start to a brand new horror IP. Hopefully Bloober Team continue to hone their craft.
