Bloober Team released update 1.011 for Cronos: The New Dawn on Oct. 26, adding a long-requested Photo Mode to the game on PC and console platforms. The studio posted details of the free update on its official X account and made the patch available as a small download across platforms.
what the update delivers
The patch is roughly 200 MB across PC and consoles and introduces Photo Mode with multiple camera options and cosmetic tools. According to Bloober Team, Photo Mode includes adjustable camera settings, screen filters and a set of stickers players can use to compose images from the game’s environments and encounters.
“Photo Mode just dropped in #CronosNewDawn with a free update on PC and consoles!” Bloober Team said on X.
Bloober’s post encourages players to capture and share images from the game’s world, describing the feature as a way to “capture every thrilling moment” using the new camera tools.
how this ties to future DLC
The update announcement also highlighted the upcoming expansion Cronos: Lazarus, which Bloober Team described as a combat-focused chapter arriving this fall. The studio’s outline for Lazarus says players will take on the role of the Warden, a protagonist requested by fans, and employ new traversal and combat abilities while facing a relentless hunter called the Tracker.
- Play as the Warden, a long-requested protagonist
- New weapons and abilities focused on faster, more aggressive combat
- New locations and gameplay scenarios with expanded challenges
Bloober Team described Lazarus as a “brutal new chapter” that explores the Warden’s origins and includes new high-octane encounters, fresh environments and expanded story elements tied to the base game.
Update 1.011 is a hotfix-style release that implements Photo Mode immediately; Bloober Team has signaled further support for the base game in advance of the Lazarus expansion but has not posted a precise release date for the DLC in its Oct. 26 announcement.
