Cronos: Lazarus Launches Dec 3 on PC PS5 Xbox [Trailer]


A New Dawn of Horror: Cronos: Lazarus Expansion Hits Release Date

After what feels like an eternity of anticipation, the dark sci-fi horror universe of Cronos: The New Dawn is set to expand, bringing players into the visceral world of Cronos: Lazarus. Bloober Team has officially announced the launch date for this highly anticipated expansion, marking a major expansion for fans of atmospheric tension, intense survival, and aggressive combat.

The wait is finally over. Cronos: Lazarus will launch on December 3, hitting PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. For those on the Nintendo Switch, the expansion is slated to arrive in the first quarter of 2027.

The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer that immediately plunged players back into the story, offering deeper context into the harrowing events unfolding in the world of Lazarus. This expansion brilliantly builds upon Bloober Team’s signature style, delivering an experience defined by oppressive atmosphere, unforgiving resource-driven survival, and relentlessly fast-paced action that demands sharp tactical thinking.

Players step into the boots of the Pathfinder, an agent of the Collective who is tasked with uncovering the truths behind his tragic transformation into the Warden. As the story unfolds, the Pathfinder finds himself pursued by the Tracker, a relentless envoy of the Collective determined to hunt him down before he can complete a critical revival mission the organization desperately seeks to conceal.

Cronos: Lazarus delves deep into the Pathfinder’s history, revealing new details about the enigmatic Collective and the devastating consequences of defying its authority. This narrative expansion promises a rich tapestry of lore and personal tragedy, deepening the lore established in the original game.

To navigate the increasingly hostile environment, players will unlock a suite of exciting new abilities. These include teleportation, allowing for rapid repositioning, and a decoy mechanic that can distract enemies while briefly rendering the Pathfinder invisible. Furthermore, the expansion introduces the Gladius, a new weapon that offers a deadlier and faster alternative to the original game’s dagger, adding a fresh layer of combat dynamism to the experience.
