Shadow of the Tomb Raider is officially out now on Nintendo Switch 2. With this shadow drop, all three parts of the Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy are now fully playable on Nintendo Switch 2.
Originally released in September 2018 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the 12th mainline Tomb Raider entry, and the final installment in Eidos-Montreal’s Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy. Upon its debut, Shadow of the Tomb Raider earned a positive reception from critics, with the action-adventure game earning a Top Critic Average of 80 on OpenCritic, and a critic recommendation score of 68%. In GameRant’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider review, Dalton Cooper gave the game an 8/10, praising its narrative, environments, and puzzles, but criticizing the game’s lack of replayability.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Is Out Now on Nintendo Switch 2
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has just been shadow-dropped on Nintendo Switch 2. Like its Switch 2 predecessors, this Definitive Edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider comes with all of the game’s base content and DLC, including seven challenge tombs, 2-player co-op, and a range of cosmetics. Until November 4, Switch 2 owners can get a 10% discount on Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition via the eShop.
With this shadow drop, Aspyr has officially ported all entries of the Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy to the Nintendo Switch 2. This journey began last November, when Aspyr shadow-dropped Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on both the original Switch and Switch 2. Then, this June, Aspyr followed a similar release strategy for the sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, which launched solely for the Nintendo Switch 2. Fans can now play the entirety of Lara Croft’s reboot adventure on Nintendo Switch 2, and those who are looking to pick up all three entries can get a 10% discount on the newly released Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy bundle.
The three Survivor Trilogy entries aren’t the only Tomb Raider games currently available on Nintendo Switch 2. Last year, Aspyr also released Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered and Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered on Switch and Switch 2. As their titles imply, these two collections deliver remastered versions of the first six mainline Tomb Raider games, including the original trilogy, The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and the divisive The Angel of Darkness.
October 22 Is a Big Day for Nintendo Switch 2
While Shadow of the Tomb Raider‘s shadow-drop on Switch 2 is certainly a welcome surprise, it’s just one of a handful of highly-anticipated games that have landed on the console today. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Final Fantasy Resonance, and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort have all launched on Nintendo Switch 2 today, giving owners plenty of diverse experiences to choose from.
