Cronos: The New Dawn’s ‘Lazarus’ DLC Launches Next Year On Switch 2
The *Lazarus* expansion for *Cronos: The New Dawn* is coming to Switch 2 in the first quarter of 2027, slightly after its release on other platforms. A new story trailer shows a prequel that follows the Pathfinder as he begins defying the Collective, adding another chapter to the game’s story.
The Pathfinder is pursued by a Tracker seeking to stop his rebellion. The trailer also features new abilities, including teleportation and summonable decoys, as well as additional weapons. The base game was praised for its survival horror atmosphere but criticised for playing things too safely.
In short
- *Lazarus* targets a Q1 2027 launch on Switch 2.
- The DLC follows the Pathfinder before the main game.
- New abilities include teleportation and decoys.
Explained simply
Cronos: The New Dawn is a survival horror game in which players explore a dangerous world and uncover its story. The Pathfinder is its central character, while the Collective is the group he begins to oppose.
The Lazarus expansion is a prequel, so its story takes place before the events of the main game. It follows the Pathfinder’s break with the Collective and introduces a Tracker who is sent after him. The expansion adds to the game’s account of that conflict.
