It’s always a bummer when your big announcement is revealed before an upcoming showcase, especially when it’s something like Bloober Team’s Cronos: Lazarus. For those who are doubtful that it actually existed after the logo reportedly appeared at a social media event in China, IGN has outright listed the title for its upcoming Live event.
Taking place on June 6th and 7th, the line-up also includes Control Resonant getting some updates from creative director Mikael Kasurinen; Lara Croft actor Alix Wilton Regan going behind the scenes with Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis; and a bevvy of other titles, including The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and more.
As for Cronos: Lazarus, it’s assumed to be a new entry in the sci-fi survival horror series, which debuted last year with Cronos: The New Dawn. The latter saw strong critical acclaim and sold 500,000 copies as of November.
For its part, Bloober Team teased its existence last April, but also said last year that a sequel wasn’t planned. Perhaps it’s a standalone expansion or even a spin-off to the original, which presents a new perspective (or at least ties up any loose ends). Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details and check out our review for the base game here.
