The job of the Traveler, as the player is known in Cronos: The New Dawn, is to go back in time and extract certain people who didn&#8217;t survive a world-ending apocalypse, presumably so they can help clean up the mess in the future (that&#8217;s not really clear either), and maybe that&#8217;s what the whole face-grabbing thing was all about.<\/p>\n<p>But scooping people out of time isn&#8217;t the Traveler&#8217;s only job: As seen in today&#8217;s gameplay trailer, they&#8217;re also responsible for filling sticky bad guys full of lead. These creatures are known as &#8220;the Orphans,&#8221; and they&#8217;re &#8220;twisted, body-horror monstrosities born from humanity\u2019s darkest nightmares.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like any good infestation, the Orphans are also tough to get rid of. The trailer is entitled &#8220;Don&#8217;t Let Them Merge,&#8221; which Bloober Team says is one of the game&#8217;s &#8220;core mechanics&#8221;: If you don&#8217;t burn an enemy after it goes down, its body can be absorbed by other Orphans, which makes them &#8220;faster, stronger, more resilient, and far more horrifying,&#8221; with additional combat abilities.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit that I didn&#8217;t pick up on that at first: Bloober Team describes the merging as a &#8220;grotesque process&#8221; but as far as I can tell after watching the video a second time to see what I&#8217;d missed, the alive wormy guy sticks its tentacles into the dead wormy guy, and then gets bigger. You can see the process (I assume this is the process, anyway) at the 0:43 point of the video, and then again at 1:33.<\/p>\n<p>That bit of it is definitely underwhelming\u2014given how central merging is to the game, I&#8217;d expect a little more visual punch from the process\u2014but overall, I like what I see. There&#8217;s a bit of Dead Space to the proceedings, which seems like an easy fit for Bloober Team, although it comes off as more of a third-person shooter than a survival horror game, which frankly is fine with me.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s the mystery that&#8217;s really holding my attention for now. Who is this guy\u2014and why, since he seems to be doing us a solid, are we pointing a gun at him?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3841px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yo68WzbTgqoMaj5eR3konF\" name=\"guy\" alt=\"Mysterious guy in Cronos: The New Dawn gameplay trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/bloober-team-delivers-an-ominous-warning-in-the-first-gameplay-trailer-for-its-next-game-dont-let-them-merge.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3841\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bloober Team)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Barring delays, we&#8217;ll find out later this year.
