Did you miss out on Shadow of the Tomb Raider when it released last year? You weren’t alone – the game did alright, selling around 4 million copies, but it wasn’t as big a hit as some of Lara Croft’s past adventures. Well, you’ll soon have another chance to jump on board, as Square Enix has announced Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, which will include the game’s seven “Paths” story updates, as well as all of Lara’s costumes, weapons, and other goodies. Check out a new trailer for the Definitive Edition, below.
Haven’t been keeping up with Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Here’s a quick rundown:
Experience Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will ultimately be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be.
Still not sure if Lara’s latest is worth your time? The game’s dark storyline received a somewhat mixed reaction, but Wccftech’s Alessio Palumbo found it to be a worthwhile, technically-impressive adventure in his full review…
Shadow of the Tomb Raider succeeds in giving Lara the character growth she needed and also brings the reboot trilogy to a satisfying closure. It does so mostly by refining the strong gameplay foundation set with the previous installments while delivering a great action/adventure experience in terms of storytelling and audiovisual spectacle.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will be available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on November 5. The game will also be available on Google Stadia when it launches on November 19. No word yet on what the Definitive Edition will cost, but expect it to come with a discount price tag.
