Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration launches for PS4 on October 11

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is heading to PlayStation 4 on October 11, Square Enix revealed today.

This expanded edition of the game will come packed with the original game, a completely new story chapter entitled “Blood Ties”, new co-op Endurance gameplay, PlayStation VR support for “Blood Ties”, all of the previously released DLC, more outfits, weapons, and Expedition Cards. The Limited Edition will also feature a limited edition art book.

All of this new content – with the exception of VR support – will be available for PC and Xbox One players as well. Those who own the Season Pass will receive all of it for free. As a result, there is no Season Pass for the PS4 version as all this content is already included on disc.

“The studio is celebrating with all Tomb Raider fans, thanking them for being on Lara’s 20 year journey with us,” said Scot Amos, co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “The team has packed in surprises, new story, and the top-requested special features into this 20 Year Celebration edition.”

Here’s a run down on some of the new content players can expect:

Blood Ties

“Blood Ties,” a new premium DLC, beckons players to explore Croft Manor in a new story mode; then defend it against a zombie invasion in “Lara’s Nightmare”. When Lara’s uncle contests ownership of the Manor, Lara must explore the estate to find proof that she is the rightful heir, or lose her birthright and father’s secrets for good. Players can then test their zombie-killing skills in the re-playable “Lara’s Nightmare” mode: a haunted Croft Manor where players have new challenges and must rid the Manor of an evil presence.

PlayStation VR

Additionally, support for PlayStation VR empowers players to unlock the mysteries of Croft Manor in first person.

Co-op Endurance Mode

In addition, for the first time in a Tomb Raider game, a new online co-op expansion to Endurance mode lets fans raid tombs in a brutal wilderness together. Two players must team up to survive the harsh elements by day, as well as lethal threats from enemies by night. Fire takes fuel, food restores health, and every resource must be hunted, collected, or crafted. Battle to the top of the leader boards, as others try to beat your longest survival run.

DLC

All previously released DLC will be included, including the three hour story addition Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, Cold Darkness Awakened in which players must combat waves of infected predators, 12 DLC outfits, 7 DLC weapons, over 35 Expedition Cards, and more.
