If you have been waiting for a good scare on a Mac, your patience is about to pay off. Bloober Team just announced that its hit survival horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn, is finally making its way to Apple Silicon. After dropping on other consoles last fall, the game will launch natively on Macs this spring. Get ready to fight terrifying monsters and travel through time, all while enjoying smooth graphics on your daily Mac.
The game takes you on a terrifying trip through time
In case you missed the original launch last September, the game throws you into a dark and brutal future. You play as a traveler who has to survive a wasteland filled with nightmarish creatures.
But you are not just shooting monsters. The main hook is that you can jump back in time to harvest souls and figure out what caused the apocalypse in the first place. It mixes intense resource management with a creepy story that keeps you guessing.
“A whole new breed of survival horror emerges with Cronos: The New Dawn. 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”, said the developer at the launch.
What to expect from the launch with native support for Apple Silicon Macs
The developers confirmed that Cronos: The New Dawn will officially land on Macs on April 28. Since the game is running natively on Apple Silicon, it will use the hardware efficiently.
The studio made sure its new version supports MetalFX Upscaling and Ray Tracing. This means lighting and shadows will look highly realistic, and the game will run smoothly.
This release is just another sign that Apple wants its Macs to be taken seriously by gamers. We recently saw other large games hit the platform, and adding a major title like Cronos shows the catalog is expanding. If you own an M-series chip and want to test its limits, you can grab the game on Steam later this month.
