One of the biggest surprises at the Xbox Partner Showcase today has been Cronos: A New Dawn - a fresh horror experience from the team that just delivered Silent Hill 2. While Konami's remake isn't on Xbox yet, Cronos: The New Dawn will be available on the platform day one.

Marrying "Eastern European brutalism" with "retro-futurist technology", Cronos looks a real treat for the eyes and ears on Xbox. It's Bloober Team at the helm, so you can expect some mind-bending horror here, although the switch to third-person is a little different from their past Xbox efforts.

Here's a quick introduction to the title:

"Cronos: The New Dawn is a pulse-pounding, third-person survival horror game that throws you into the heart of a deadly struggle against overwhelming foes, all while uncovering the mysteries of a twisted time travel story.

In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of The Change, a cataclysmic event that forever altered humanity. Meanwhile, in the ravaged wastelands of the future, every moment is a fight for survival against dangerous abominations that will test both your reflexes and your tactical thinking."

This one looks and sounds pretty fantastic so far, and we can't wait to see more of it already. Cronos: The New Dawn is aiming for a 2025 release - beyond that we're left in the dark, for now.
