As Lara Croft races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, she must become the Tomb Raider she is destined to be. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the defining chapter of her origin story - a descent into deadly jungles, terrifying tombs and the darkest hour of gaming's most famous archaeologist.
Survive the Deadliest Place on Earth
The jungle is not a backdrop here - it is the most dangerous character in the game. Lara must master an unforgiving wilderness where predators stalk the undergrowth and the land itself tests her limits, from dense rainforest canopy to underwater caverns riddled with crevasses and deep tunnel systems. Survival is earned one breath, one handhold and one quiet step at a time.
Become One With the Jungle
Outgunned and outnumbered, Lara turns the wild into a weapon. Caked in mud, she melts into bark and stone; striking suddenly and disappearing like a jaguar, she picks apart patrols from the shadows and instills a fear in her enemies that spreads through their ranks as chaos. This is the most predatory Lara has ever felt, and the jungle rewards players who think like a hunter rather than a soldier.
Tombs More Terrifying Than Ever
The challenge tombs that define the series reach their darkest form yet. Reaching them demands advanced traversal - rappelling down sheer walls, running across crumbling faces, squeezing through flooded passages - and what waits inside is worse: intricate puzzles wired to lethal machinery, where a mistimed step means impalement rather than a puzzle reset. Every solved tomb feels genuinely earned.
Uncover a Living Hidden City
- Paititi - the biggest hub space ever found in a Tomb Raider game, a hidden city alive with people, trade and tradition, where Lara walks among a civilization the outside world believes is legend and uncovers what its history means for the coming apocalypse.
- A world on the brink - from a Día de los Muertos celebration in Cozumel to storm-lashed coastal cliffs and firelit ritual chambers, every location pulls Lara deeper into the mystery of the eclipse and the cataclysms it heralds.
- Trinity closes in - the shadowy organization Lara has hunted across two games is here in force, and this time the race is not for treasure but for the fate of the world itself.
Her Defining Moment
Shadow of the Tomb Raider completes the journey that began with a shipwrecked survivor and ends with a legend. It is the story of what the title has always promised - the moment Lara Croft stops running from who she is and becomes the Tomb Raider. The jungle is waiting and the eclipse is already rising - step into the shadow and find out who walks out the other side.
