Bloober Team Cronos: The New Dawn updates and expansion

Overview

Bloober Team has released a free update for its horror title, Cronos: The New Dawn, which introduces a customizable Photo Mode, a Pumpkin Head skin for the Halloween season, and technical improvements such as the ability to skip cutscenes.

Following this update, the developer announced a story expansion titled ‘Cronos: Lazarus’, scheduled for release on December 3, 2026. The DLC will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for $9.99, with a version for Nintendo Switch 2 expected in the first quarter of 2027. Developed in partnership with PixelAnt Games, the expansion serves as a prequel exploring the backstory of the Pathfinder, an elite agent of the Collective, and the events leading to his transformation into the Warden.

The narrative will delve into the secrets of the Collective and the consequences of defying its authority. Players will encounter a new antagonist known as the Tracker, described as an “unrelenting envoy sent to stop the protagonist's mission.” Gameplay is expected to be faster and more aggressive than the base game, introducing new abilities such as teleportation and temporary invisibility via decoys, alongside a new weapon called the Gladius, which is described as “more lethal and faster than the original game's dagger.”
