The Hunt Begins: Cronos: Lazarus Launches on December 3 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S

Tracker and Pathfinder face off in a new story trailer

Bloober Team has announced that Cronos: Lazarus, the upcoming DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, will launch on December 3, 2026. A newly released story trailer offers a glimpse into the expansion’s narrative, reveals the brutal confrontation between the Tracker and the Pathfinder. The footage also introduces new abilities, weapons, and enemies that will shape this new chapter in the Cronos universe. The DLC will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Cronos: Lazarus returns to the dark sci-fi horror universe of Cronos: The New Dawn, expanding on the story introduced in last year’s original. This third-person survival horror builds on Bloober Team’s signature blend of oppressive atmosphere, intense encounters and resource-driven survival, with faster-paced action and more aggressive combat that demand quick thinking and tactical precision.

Players step into the role of the Pathfinder, an elite agent of the Collective, uncovering the events that led to his transformation into the Warden. Set before the original game, the DLC explores his past and reveals new details about the Collective and the consequences of defying its authority.

To survive, players will wield new abilities, including teleportation for rapid repositioning and a decoy that distracts enemies while briefly rendering the Pathfinder invisible. The expansion also introduces the Gladius, a faster, deadlier weapon than the original game’s dagger. Standing in the Pathfinder’s way is the Tracker, a relentless envoy of the Collective tasked with hunting him down before he can complete a revival mission the organization must never uncover.
