What is Cronos Lazarus?

Cronos Lazarus is a story expansion for Cronos: The New Dawn developed by Bloober Team and PixelAnt Games. It returns players to the wastelands of New Dawn as the once-loyal Pathfinder, now transforming into the Warden, isolated in the Terminal and severed from the Collective as he tries to awaken a lost Essence.

The expansion replaces the base game's cautious, precision-first rhythm with faster, more aggressive combat. The Warden can leave decoys, turn temporarily invisible, and use enhanced traversal and Pathfinder technology while a relentless, adaptive hunter is sent to eliminate him. Cronos Lazarus launches December 3, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 release planned for the first quarter of 2027.

3Use temporary invisibility to reposition laterally rather than retreating.
4Chain enhanced traversal into the next attack instead of treating it as travel.
5Rotate your tools so an adaptive enemy cannot lock onto one pattern.
6End the fight before cooldowns run dry, then reset the arena for the next wave.
