Overview
- A Switch 2 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration was released on the Nintendo eShop as a surprise digital drop, ported by Aspyr and published in partnership with Crystal Dynamics.
- The edition bundles every previously released season-pass item, DLC expansions (including Baba Yaga and Cold Darkness Awakened), eight DLC outfits, seven DLC weapons, 35 expansion cards, new difficulty modes, and classic Lara skins.
- The game is listed at $26.99 on the eShop with a reported 10 percent launch discount that will end, after which the price will be $29.99.
- Aspyr’s role follows its prior Switch 2 port work and a pattern of surprise releases, and coverage notes a separately confirmed Switch 2 remake titled Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis that reportedly used AI-generated content during development while Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s Switch 2 status remains unconfirmed.
- The release highlights a broader industry trend of repackaging older console-era games for new hardware to reach new players and suggests further Tomb Raider ports or remakes could appear for Switch 2 in the coming months.
