Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Launches on Switch, Switch 2

Aspyr has surprised Nintendo fans with the unannounced release of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on the Switch and Switch 2 eShops, bringing the acclaimed 2013 reboot of the action-adventure series to the platforms for the first time.

The port, developed originally by Crystal Dynamics and handled by Aspyr, launched simultaneously on November 18 at a price of $19.99. It includes all previously released downloadable content, such as six outfits for protagonist Lara Croft, eight multiplayer maps, and four multiplayer characters. Additional bonus materials feature a digital version of the Tomb Raider: The Beginning comic from Dark Horse Comics, the art book Tomb Raider: The Art of Survival, and the developer documentary series The Final Hours of Tomb Raider.

To mark the debut, the game carries a 10 percent launch discount until November 24, reducing the cost to $17.99. Owners of other Tomb Raider titles on Nintendo platforms qualify for further savings: a 10 percent reduction for those with Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, and another 10 percent for Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. These stack with the introductory offer, potentially dropping the price to $13.99 for eligible buyers.
