Bloober Team has announced a brand new story DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn at Summer Game Fest 2026. That DLC titled Cronos: Lazarus will put players in the shoes of the Warden, everyone’s favorite NPC from the main game.
I’m certainly interested in this DLC given how much I enjoyed the base game. That being said, I have some caution because based on what Bloober Team is saying it sounds like Cronos: Lazarus could be a very different experience to Cronos: The New Dawn.
This is how they describe the upcoming DLC via the official steam page:
Cronos: Lazarus shifts the tone towards a more aggressive style of gameplay. Whereas in Cronos: The New Dawn you focused more on precision and picking your battles, this expansion lets you experience what it means to be one of the Collective’s elite agents.
Scarred and broken by a lifetime of survival in the wasteland, the Warden is not at full strength, but even in his damaged state, he retains the ability to move fast, strike hard and survive against mounting pressure.
Cronos: Lazarus is scheduled to launch sometime this Fall on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
