Fans of the Tomb Raider saga have been eagerly awaiting news about the upcoming video game following the conclusion of the modern trilogy with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. With the silence surrounding this anticipated release, Crystal Dynamics continues to work on the new title, which will be published by Amazon. As the gaming community awaits more information, two pieces of news have emerged to keep the interest alive.
Tomb Raider returns, but not yet in full force
Square Enix and Aspyr have simultaneously released Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch consoles, which has taken many by surprise. This title is based on the 2014 remaster and not only includes the full campaign but also six additional outfits for Lara, eight maps for multiplayer mode, and characters for online play. Those who purchase the game on the eShop will receive extra content, such as the comic Tomb Raider: The Beginning and a mini art book. Its regular price is 20 euros, but it is currently offered at a reduced price of 17.99 euros for those who already own other Tomb Raider titles on Switch.
In terms of performance, the version for the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 reaches 60 fps with an improved resolution, compared to the stable 30 fps of the original Switch. Additionally, features such as gyroscopic control and touchscreen support have been incorporated. With this, it is speculated that other titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider could come to both consoles in the future.
On the other hand, Netflix has revealed the trailer for Season 2 of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, which premieres on December 11, 2026. This animated series, which continues the events after the modern trilogy, will be the last season. It has also been confirmed that Sophie Turner will play Lara Croft in an upcoming live-action series for Amazon Prime Video, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with filming scheduled to begin next year.
