Overview
- Bloober Team officially revealed Cronos: Lazarus on June 6, confirming it as a DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn with a Fall 2026 release window on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
- The expansion makes the Warden a playable protagonist and reframes the game from deliberate survival horror to a faster, more aggressive combat style.
- New abilities confirmed by the developer include teleportation, deployable decoys and temporary invisibility, which are designed to change traversal and combat pacing.
- Lazarus introduces a persistent new enemy called the Tracker that is engineered to hunt the Warden and drive large, cinematic confrontations.
- The announcement follows early leaks and a brief IGN listing and notes voice actor Alan Turkington will return; Bloober has not revealed a firm release date, price, or deeper story details and is continuing work on other horror projects.
