Cronos: The New Dawn to get ‘Temporal Diver’ difficulty mode in early 2026 

Starting off as a bit of a mixed bag of a developer, Bloober Team have slowly but surely proven themselves in the horror genre, with their most recent original release ‘Cronos: The New Dawn’ receiving high praise from players while exceeding half a million copies sold since its launch back in September. While intended to be a rather daunting experience, the developers at Bloober Team have confirmed that Cronos will be getting a new easier difficulty mode early next year.

Making the announcement via a humorous skit published to their YouTube channel, Bloober Team confirmed that Cronos: The New Dawn will be getting an easier difficulty option in the form of the Temporal Diver Mode.

Arriving in early 2026, the developers explained their mentality behind the upcoming addition, stating:

“Hey there travellers. Cronos: The New Dawn was a game developed to challenge the players. But we’ve heard your voices, and we know that some of us want to explore the story behind the game in your own pace. So right now, we are working on a new difficulty setting that will be introduced in early 2026. Such is our calling.”

For the uninitiated, Cronos: The New Dawn is a 3rd person horror experience in which players must “survive the brutal wastelands of the future, fight nightmarish merging creatures and jump back in time to harvest souls as you seek to uncover the origins of the apocalypse that wiped out humanity.”

Being a survival horror game, Cronos is understandably not the easiest of experiences. That said, it is encouraging to see a new option being added which should allow more people to check out the game while not taking away from other players’ personal stories. It will be interesting to see whether anything else is added alongside the new difficulty mode.
