Horror games have been on the rise recently, with many old horror franchises making a comeback, while others that have stuck around are revamping their identities and creating something familiar yet new, e.g., Resident Evil. But there are those who have been constantly creating all-new horror experiences and forging their own path. One of them is Bloober Team, which has been responsible for many great horror games in recent years, such as Layers of Fear and the remake of the beloved Silent Hill franchise. And now, their recent horror hit, Cronos: The New Dawn, just had a gameplay showcase for its upcoming DLC, Cronos: Lazarus, which brings back a familiar but brutal gameplay many players know from the game. Cronos: Lazarus is set to release in Fall 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Cronos: The New Dawn is the latest survival horror game by Bloober Team and was generally well received, combining elements from many great horror games while remaining its own thing. And now it’s back with a brand-new DLC, Cronos: Lazarus, a brutal new chapter in the story as you take on a new protagonist, the Warden, and experience a faster, more aggressive combat style as you fight to complete a mission the Collective must never uncover. The new trailer is a gameplay showcase with an emphasis on combat, as the DLC will be more combat-focused, and it looks brutal. A lot of what players enjoyed in the base game is no longer front and center with the new protagonist and their weapons and gadgets. Honestly, the survival horror this time around seems to be on the enemies’ side, as Warden is on a warpath to complete his mission. If you enjoyed the combat the most, this DLC is for you.
Cronos: Lazarus is the next chapter in this new horror story that Bloober Team is developing. So if you’re a fan of the combat in Cronos: The New Dawn and the world itself, this DLC is your next stop, as it looks to crank everything that players liked to the next level. Cronos: Lazarus is set to release in Fall 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
