The production budget for Bloober Team's upcoming survival horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn, has been revealed.

Speaking with bankier.pl, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno addressed speculation surrounding the production budget of Cronos: The New Dawn. Contrary to reports that the game cost over PLN 100 million (about 27.5 million US Dollars), he confirmed the actual figure was well below that threshold. As a result, the break-even point is significantly lower than previously believed, strengthening the company's confidence in profitability.

They will definitely be profitable, even in competitive month.

The cynic in me wants to say "it shows"

I don't really have anything against the game, but on the other hand I also don't see much I like. It mostly compels me to make comparisons with other much better games it was, let's say, heavily inspired by.

They're gonna be successful with this game, no doubt, even if September is crowded. It looks awesome and I can't wait until tomorrow to play the shit out of this on the weekend.

Curious to know about the budget of sh2r.

If higher it would explain why the remake look better graphically.

That's more than what I have in my bank account

I doubt its considerably higher. Wasnt kdc 2 budget like 40m$ in Cz? Those games would easily cost 100m$ in thr US.

Well, yeah, it shows. Didn't play it yet, and I don't think I will do it too soon since the gameplay I've watched was very dull, shoot pimples and the occasional barrel.

100$ was spent on optimization

Developers in Europe are indeed much cheaper than the US. They don't have to compete with big tech companies willing to hand out massive compensation packages like they do here.

That's pretty much the budget for Control by Remedy if I remember right. This proves you can make good (or even awesome in case of Control) games with 30m budget, but also make shit games with 100+ millions.

I prefer to get 28 mil dollars buget games every 2-3 years than 200 mil every 6 years.

It's impossible to make AAA games for 30m in the us.

That's also why Poland is becoming a western gaming hub (as was Ukraine becoming too, before the war)

That's what happens when salary averages are less than half that of the U.S. average for game developers.
