No more James Sunderland: Bloober Team's New Direction
After the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team is pivoting towards a new project, Cronos: The New Dawn. Set in a post-apocalyptic Kraków, the game features a shift from psychological horror to more action-oriented gameplay, reminiscent of Resident Evil. Lead writer Grzegorz Like emphasizes the need for change, stating, "No more James Sunderland...this needed to be something else." While the game promises to include elements that reflect Bloober's roots, it also aims to explore new themes with unique enemies and a vibrant setting. Players should expect a blend of sci-fi, humor, and perhaps even cats, showcasing the studio's commitment to innovation. However, whether this new direction can capture the essence of what made Silent Hill iconic remains to be seen. As it stands, Cronos is shaping up to be an intriguing venture, but fans will watch closely for any remnants of its predecessor's legacy. This could be a bold step forward, or a misstep in the eyes of dedicated horror enthusiasts.
