About Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition delivers the final chapter of Lara Croft’s origin, merging the original adventure with every DLC challenge tomb, weapon, outfit, and skill released for the title.

The package is single‑player, runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and includes full controller support for DualShock and DualSense, Steam Cloud, Steam Achievements, and remote play on phone, tablet, and TV.

01 / THE GUIDE

Definitive Edition Content

The Definitive Edition packages the base adventure together with all seven DLC challenge tombs, providing a continuous narrative without separate installations.

Every weapon, outfit, and skill released as downloadable content is also included, so players have full equipment variety from the start.

  • Check the equipment menu to confirm all weapons and outfits are present.
  • Review the tomb selection screen to see each of the seven challenge tombs listed.

02 / THE GUIDE

Jungle Survival

Lara must navigate an unforgiving jungle, where survival depends on using the environment strategically and staying aware of enemy patrols.

The game encourages sudden strikes, mud camouflage, and jaguar‑like movement, allowing Lara to ambush, disappear, and sow chaos among foes.

  • Observe mud patches for natural camouflage spots.
  • Watch enemy movement patterns to time sudden strikes.

03 / THE GUIDE

Underwater Exploration

Certain sections shift underwater, presenting crevasses and deep tunnel systems that extend vertical exploration and challenge navigation.

Players must follow visual cues, monitor depth, and watch rock formations to manage limited air while moving through submerged passages.

  • Look for distinct rock formations that indicate safe routes.
  • Pause at air pockets when visible to conserve breathing.

04 / THE GUIDE

Dark and Brutal Tombs

Tombs in this edition are described as more terrifying, requiring advanced traversal techniques just to reach their entrances and test movement skill.

Inside, deadly puzzles combine precise platforming with logical riddles, creating layered difficulty that challenges even experienced players.

  • Practice traversal moves in open areas before entering a new tomb.
  • Take notes on recurring puzzle symbols to reduce trial‑and‑error.

05 / THE GUIDE

Living History Hub

A hidden city serves as the biggest hub space ever found in a Tomb Raider game, offering extensive exploration.

The hub intertwines with the narrative, allowing players to uncover living history while navigating its detailed streets.

  • Explore side alleys for optional lore items that expand the story.
  • Use the hub as a waypoint when planning routes back into the jungle.
