Prequel DLC Cronos: Lazarus Launches on December 3 for PC and Consoles

Bloober Team has released a new narrative trailer revealing that Cronos: Lazarus, a story expansion for sci-fi survival horror title Cronos: The New Dawn, launches on December 3, 2026.

Set prior to the main campaign, the DLC puts you in control of the Pathfinder, an elite Collective operative whose past and eventual transformation into the Warden unfold during a high-stakes resurrection mission.

Pitting you against the Tracker – a relentless enforcer sent to silence you – the expansion shifts toward faster, more aggressive third-person combat while retaining core resource-management mechanics. Survival relies on mastering tactical teleportation, deploying stealth decoys, and wielding the newly introduced Gladius blade.

Cronos: Lazarus releases December 3, 2026, for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch 2 version arriving in Q1 2027.
