One of the worst-kept secrets heading into the Summer of Gaming, Bloober Team’s Cronos: Lazarus has finally been announced. As previously claimed, it’s DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn launching this Fall for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Instead of Traveler ND-3576, you’ll control the Warden. Or rather, the Warden before he assumed that role, i.e. the Pathfinder. After the Collective effectively leaves him for dead, he seeks out someone important – a “lost Essence” that he’s not keen to let go.
And while he’s not quite at 100 percent, the Pathfinder is still a powerful opponent. He favors a more aggressive playstyle and possesses unique abilities, including creating a decoy and turning invisible for a period to get the drop on foes. He’ll need all of this and more to surge ahead, especially since Bloober Team promises “even harsher challenges” than before.
That includes a pursuer, one tasked by the Collective to eliminate the Pathfinder. Of course, as you progress through Lazarus, you’ll learn more about his past and what ultimately shaped him into the Warden. Given the lengths he’s willing to go, it can’t be anything pleasant.
Cronos: Lazarus doesn’t have a price yet, so stay tuned for more updates in the coming months. Check out our thoughts on the base game in the meantime. A free demo is also available on all platforms for those who want to try before buying.
