Cronos: The New Dawn Releasing ‘Temporal Diver’ Difficulty Mode in Early 2026

Bloober Team has announced that a new difficulty mode for Cronos: The New Dawn, titled “Temporal Diver,” will release in early 2026. The mode gives players a way to experience the story without any challenges. 

In a new video, one of Bloober Team’s staff states that “Cronos: The New Dawn was a game meant to challenge the players. But, we heard your voices, and we know that some of us want to explore the story behind the game in our own pace.” This mode is titled “Temporal Diver” and will release in early 2026. Further, more details will surface in the coming weeks.

Check out the trailer revealing the “Temporal Diver” mode of Cronos: The New Dawn below:

Cronos: The New Dawn is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. We reviewed the game, rating it a 2/5. We described it as a game that “is filled to the brim with potential, which ultimately falls short in how it executes all of its concepts. While there is a great story foundation and some interesting mechanics, the lackluster conclusion to the narrative, combined with irritating combat, frequent glitches, poor pacing of traversal, and repetitive gameplay scenarios, makes for a product that fails to capture the quality of other entries in the genre.”

Lastly, the Steam page describes the game as follows:

In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of The Change, a cataclysmic event that forever altered humanity. Meanwhile, in the ravaged wastelands of the future, every moment is a fight for survival against dangerous abominations that will test both your reflexes and your tactical thinking.
