Cronos: The New Dawn Update Will Add a New, Easier Difficulty Setting in Early 2026

@Jammer @Fiendish-Beaver Cronos fans rise up!

I was hoping they would be adding more story, as I'm very interested in where they go after that ending. I thought the difficulty was perfectly fine as it was but I appricate if others are struggling though.

I want to play Cronos, but it’s the type of game I’ll wait to play on a subscription service. Which doesn’t really say anything positive about me, but look, I’m the monster they created.

Yes, was hoping they would add an easy mode!

This was my game of the year. I got every single achievement in it, including playing through it on the hardest difficulty, and loved it so much that I bought it again on the PlayStation so that I could pop that Platinum Trophy.

So very much hope that we see a sequel because the game is simple awesome. Don't sit on it, people, go buy it...

I saw your comment to me after I had posted my comment (at 4), @Oram77. I absolutely loved the game. Definitely my Game of the Year...

@Fiendish-Beaver The game deservered way more attention and copies sold, but from the look of things Bloober are happy with the outcome the game got, I think after they are done with Silent hill 1 remake, we could get a Cronos 2 🤞

@Fiendish-Beaver now they have announced that they are going to add a new difficulty I will buy it at some point

I absolutely loved this game. The sound and atmosphere were top notch. I really struggled with this game at first. I’m so glad I didn’t have the choice to change the difficulty because I know myself and I would have put it on easy. By sticking with it and adapting it really made it a worthwhile experience. I do see the reason they are and am glad for anybody that will be picking this up. Cheers to Bloober and hopefully they will be making a sequel or expansion

Really hope this opens the door for more people to give it a try. A truly incredible survival horror game.

A beautiful game. The score alone is worth praise. Gorgeous visuals. Neat mechanics. Interesting story. Amazing.

Bloober is on a roll.

@Oram77 Great news, that new easier setting should make it welcoming for new folks too. I remember the start of the game and sheesh was it tricky. And the last two end bosses damn. But worth the effort I'm still undecided which was my fave horror title this or SHf although totally different types of horror really so not fair to compare.

Easier? Ah hmm, I would’ve hoped for the opposite. (As a veteran of survival horror, I did not find this game to be difficult.)

Very fun game tho, do give it my recommendation.

Chronos the new dawn is a incredible game it's like dead space 4. More horror games is welcome.word up son

I absolutely love this game but have been stuck in one particularly difficult area (about 8 hours in) so an easier difficulty is welcome. Might try to only use it for that part as the rest has been challenging but doable and felt great.

I'm just about managing, but I do think that I'll be bumping the difficulty down if I haven't finished the game when the update releases.

I might buy it if its a lot easier definitely

This is becoming a trend now where games are adding easy modes after launch, it's happened with Expedition 33, Lies of P, Silent Hill F, Silent Hill 2 and now this.

Surely just adding it at launch would result in more day one buys instead of adding it months later when people will most likely wait for a sale instead.
