Lazarus expansion for Cronos: The New Dawn to release in December — new DLC trailer

Cronos: The New Dawn has received a discount.

Poland's Bloober Team has presented a new trailer for the Cronos: Lazarus expansion. It was originally expected that the DLC would be released in the fall, but the release will have to wait a little longer.

In this DLC, the creators of Cronos: The New Dawn will invite players to learn the story of the Caretaker, a secondary character from the main game. The new protagonist is set to embark on a mission that the Collective must not find out about:

Return to the wastelands and play as a once-faithful Traveler on the journey to becoming the beloved Caretaker from the main game. Isolated in the Terminal and severed from communication with the Collective, he will do anything to awaken the lost Essence he refuses to let go of.
