Bloober Team is rolling out a fresh update for Cronos: The New Dawn>, packed with a highly anticipated new feature and essential quality-of-life improvements. Following up on previous seasonal releases, players now have access to a dynamic Photo Mode, inviting them to step behind the lens and immortalize their moments in the game.

This new photo mode allows players to capture stunning shots of the character and the expansive game environment. It offers deep customization, letting users fine-tune settings like exposure, contrast, and bloom to perfectly tailor their vision. Beyond the basics, advanced options such as film grain, color fringing, effects, and stickers are included, ensuring every player can achieve their unique artistic style.

The update doesn’t stop at creative photography. To enhance the overall player experience, Bloober Team has also introduced several fixes and tweaks, including options to skip cutscenes and improved HDR balancing. These adjustments ensure that the new Photo Mode is accessible and allows players to fully immerse themselves in the experience without unnecessary interruptions.

Owners of Cronos: The New Dawn will receive this entire suite of updates, including the Photo Mode, free of charge on both PC and console platforms.

To celebrate the spooky season, the developers are also making the game more accessible than ever. Throughout the Halloween season, Cronos: The New Dawn is available at a 50% discount across major storefronts, including Steam, the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, and the Nintendo e-shop.

Adding to the festive fun, Bloober Team is hosting Halloweek—a week dedicated to streams, surprises, and giveaways. Fans can keep an eye on Bloober Team’s social channels, including YouTube and Twitch, for exciting seasonal reveals happening until October 30th.

While players enjoy these updates, anticipation continues for the next major installment. The highly sought-after Cronos: Lazarus expansion remains under development, with plans for a fall release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
