Bloober Team has announced that Cronos: Lazarus, the upcoming story DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, will launch on December 3, 2026.
Lazarus adopts a more aggressive spin on gameplay as players experience combat as one of the Collective’s elite agents, with battles unfolding at a faster pace compared to the precision-based scraps in the base game. Here, the Warden is not a full strength as a result of being scarred by a lifetime of survival in the wasteland, but even so, retains his ability to strike hard and fast against mounting pressure.
Players will face off against a relentless pursuer that’s highly adaptive and fully capable of matching the Warden’s strengths, having been specifically engineered to take him down. “Your battles will escalate into large scale, cinematic encounters that will test every skill you possess,” reads the press blurb.
Take advantage of your enhanced traversal and combat abilities that include the power to leave a decoy in your wake and become temporarily invisible to your enemies. Command tools and technology reserved for a Pathfinder. Deploy your skillset wisely as you push through even harsher challenges than anything encountered before.
Cronos: Lazarus is due out on December 3. Cronos: The New Dawn arrived on September 3, 2025 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, and you can read our full review here.
