Cronos: The New Dawn’s ‘Lazarus’ DLC Launches Next Year On Switch 2

The Lazarus DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn has been officially announced with a newly released story trailer that emphasizes horror themes. The expansion targets players who enjoyed the original space-action title, which launched last year. The trailer showcases a notably spooky tone, suggesting the DLC will explore darker and more atmospheric narrative elements compared to the original game’s core gameplay focus.

The DLC is scheduled to launch on other platforms in December 2026, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version arriving later during Q1 2027. This staggered release reflects the ongoing coordination challenges developers face when releasing content across multiple platforms during a new console’s launch window.

Limited details have been shared about the Lazarus expansion’s gameplay mechanics, campaign length, and specific content beyond its story-driven, horror-focused direction. The announcement primarily highlights the expansion’s thematic elements through the trailer, suggesting narrative depth as a central feature of the DLC experience.
