Cronus: New Dawn – a fun-looking third-person survival horror game – was released in the latest Xbox Partner Preview, and among the many monster shooters, a chess match featured in its trailer earned high praise from chess fans.
Yes, Bloober Team just released a remake of the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2, showing off the product ahead of its 2025 release, which will no doubt please those who enjoy the atmosphere of games like Dead Space. Given that it also continued the gameplay promised in Alan Wake 2’s Lake House DLC during the reveal, it’s fair to say that Ghost fans had a good time last night.

As you can see in the trailer below, Kronos introduces us all to a “brutal world where Eastern European brutalism meets retro-futuristic technology,” pairing a mysterious protagonist wearing a cool bionic suit with retro sci-fi The atmospheric filming scenes contrast them with a chess match through rooms filled with floating furniture and floating monsters.
The good news is that this game between an old lady and a guy in a suit (who apparently forgot to wash the blood off his hands, rudely) has passed the chess nerd eye test. “I want to congratulate Bloober Team for making a chess-themed trailer where the moves and etiquette aren’t completely ridiculous,” said one of the nerds, Fallout New Vegas director Josh Sawyer.

I’m not sure about the etiquette part, since the trailer ends with the main character failing, immediately pushing off the table and reaching for the lady’s face with his claw device. If you’re wondering why they do this, the game’s synopsis may provide some clues.
“You are a traveler, an agent of a mysterious collective, tasked with scouring the wasteland of the future, looking for a specific rift in time that will take you back to 1980s Poland,” it reads. “You are tasked with finding the key… Using your almighty harvester, you can extract the essence of people from the past who died in the subsequent apocalypse, and have them accompany you into the future.”
As this shows, the game has parts that take place in the past and the future. In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of change, a cataclysmic event that changed humanity forever,” Bloober Team explains. “Meanwhile, in the ravaged wasteland of the future, every moment is A battle for survival against dangerous monsters. This will test your reflexes and tactical thinking. “
