Cronos: Lazarus DLC Set for December 3 With Faster, Ability-Driven Combat

The $9.99 prequel refocuses Cronos from measured survival to mobility-led encounters to show how the Pathfinder becomes the Warden.

Overview

  • Bloober Team announced the Cronos: Lazarus DLC on Wednesday, Oct. 28 and confirmed a December 3, 2026 launch for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
  • The expansion will cost $9.99 at release and Bloober Team plans a Nintendo Switch 2 port in the first quarter of 2027.
  • Lazarus changes the game's pace by rewarding rapid movement and aggression through new abilities such as short-range teleportation and deployable decoy holograms that grant brief invisibility.
  • The DLC is a story prequel that puts players in the Pathfinder’s role as he pursues a revival mission, introduces a relentless new pursuer called the Tracker, and traces the Pathfinder’s descent into becoming the Warden.
  • Bloober Team released a trailer with the announcement and temporarily discounted the base game by about 50 percent to encourage new and returning players before the holiday launch.
