How many hours will you have to set aside for this dark adventure? It's quite a bit for a single-player game of this type.
According to designers Wojciech Pieko and Jacek Ziemba, a complete playthrough will take about 18–20 hours. This information was announced back in the spring, but the developers clarified that the balance of the playthrough was still in progress.
Of course, the final time depends on the approach: some will go through the story directly, while others will explore every corner and look for secrets. Even with this approach, the playthrough is unlikely to exceed 20–25 hours.
The New Game Plus mode deserves special attention. It will allow you to unlock new costumes, increase the difficulty, and gain a deeper understanding of the plot on a second playthrough.
Cronos: The New Dawn will be released on September 5, 2025, just one day after the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong. For Bloober Team, this is another major release after the recent success of Silent Hill 2 Remake.
