The collective has called upon its Temporal Divers
Good news for those who asked for a new challenge: the long-awaited Temporal Diver (Easy Mode) for Cronos: The New Dawn is now live on select platforms, with others coming soon. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, a brand-new Iron Rider Skin has just been released.
By popular demand, and thanks to your feedback, Bloober Team is excited to bring you the new Temporal Diver Mode in Cronos: The New Dawn. Listening to the community, Bloober Team designed this mode for players seeking a more streamlined gameplay experience, while still preserving the tension, challenge, and engaging mechanics that define the game. The new mode is out today on PlayStation 5 and PC, with Xbox and Nintendo updates following closely. From this update onwards, players will be able to run their game in New Game+ setting across all difficulties. Completing the game once will allow for all character progression to be transferred and fired up in a new game.
All Modes:
- Temporal Diver Mode (NEW!) - Increased player health and reduced enemy difficulty.
- Anvil of the Collective - Standard difficulty.
- Forged in Fire Mode - Unlocks after completing the Anvil of the Collective playthrough and is currently the highest difficulty setting.
“Cronos was always meant to be challenging, but we wanted to give players a more relaxed way to experience it. Temporal Diver Mode is our way of saying thank you to the community and letting more players enjoy the game, while still preserving its core tension. Respect to everyone who has completed Cronos so far, Such is Our Calling!” - Jacek Zięba, Game Director, Cronos: The New Dawn, Bloober Team.
