PC Requirements for Bloober Team’s Cronos: The New Dawn

Last week, Bloober Team announced a new third-person survival horror game, called Cronos: The New Dawn. And although the game targets a 2025 release date, the devs have shared its official PC system requirements. So, let’s take a look at them.

To run the game, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-8400F, Intel Core I5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700-XT.

Bloober Team recommends using an Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800XT.

Cronos: The New Dawn will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. So, my guess is that it will take advantage of both Lumen and Nanite. Also, since Silent Hill 2 Remake offered Hardware Lumen, we can assume that this new game will also support it.

Bloober Team has not revealed the graphics settings, resolution and framerate these PC specs target. Nevertheless, it’s obvious they are not for maxing out the game at 4K.

Since this will be a new IP, I’m curious to see what Bloober Team has in store for us. Silent Hill 2 Remake was a brilliant remake. So, let’s hope that the devs have learned a thing or two from it.

Let’s also hope that it won’t suffer from the same optimization issues that currently plague SH2 Remake. As I’ve said, Silent Hill 2 Remake suffers from numerous stutters on all platforms. Moreover, it has major CPU optimization issues in indoor areas. Yesterday, Bloober Team released the first post-launch update for SH2. From what I’ve seen, though, this patch does not bring any major improvements. But hey, at least we now have native support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation.

Stay tuned for more!
