Welcome to Neoseeker's Cronos: The New Dawn walkthrough and guide!

Cronos: The New Dawn is a story-driven action horror adventure from developers Bloober Team. It is set in the ruined city of New Dawn, a place forever scarred by a cataclysmic event known as the Change. As an agent of the Collective, your mission is to dive head first into exploration of this hostile city, traverse through time, and extract key figures whose survival may determine the fate of humanity itself.

This Cronos: The New Dawn guide and walkthrough will take you step-by-step through the entire main story campaign, including every objective, puzzle solution, and boss fight strategy. You’ll also find detailed locations for all hidden collectibles, along with tips and strategies to help you survive the unforgiving world of the post-apocalyptic city of New Dawn.

What this guide will offer:

  • Complete walkthrough for the game from start to finish
  • Boss fight strategies for every boss
  • How to achieve all endings
  • All collectible locations (Cats, Comic Books, Fallen Travelers, Travelogs)
  • All Weapon Locations
  • Achievement/Trophy Guide
  • ...and much, much more!

Author's Thoughts:

Cronos: The New Dawn is one of those games that just pulls you in with its atmosphere from the get-go - I really enjoyed the sci-fi setting and mysterious story that both set the mood early. Yes, enemy variety is somewhat limited, and combat is a little clunky at times but despite that, it’s still a lot of fun. The creepy locations, unravelling the mystery behind the story, and the constant suspense make this an easy game for me to recommend - especially if you are into games like Dead Space, or just love atmospheric horror in general. Check it out!
