Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Suddenly Drops on Switch and Switch 2, Including All DLC, Art, and Comics
November 19, 2025Lara Croft’s gritty 2013 reboot just landed out of nowhere on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. After years of waiting, fans woke up to the surprise: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is available right now; no warning, no tease, just pure, unfiltered adventure for handheld and home players alike.
Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics partnered for this low-key digital launch, immediately making the full package available on the Nintendo eShop. If you’ve been itching to guide a young, untested Lara through her toughest origin story, all with a fresh coat of paint, today’s your day.
What’s Packed Into This Edition?
This release isn’t just the base game. You’re getting the complete, award-winning remaster of the 2013 action-adventure title, complete with all original DLC. The reboot follows Lara Croft’s desperate transformation from inexperienced survivor to iconic explorer, set against a visually intense and dangerous backdrop. Expect high-octane combat, hazardous environments, and full customization for weapons and gear along the way.
The official blurb teases exactly what you’re in for: “Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is the award-winning cinematic action-adventure that tells Lara Croft’s emotional journey from an inexperienced young woman into a hardened survivor – with a stunningly lifelike world to explore,” promising “high-octane combat,” with weapon and gear customization options, as well as “grueling” challenges for Lara to tackle.
Beyond the game itself, the package is stacked:
- Every single piece of original DLC included
- Digital access to the Dark Horse comic ‘Tomb Raider: The Beginning’
- The Brady Games mini-art book, ‘Tomb Raider: The Art of Survival’
- The complete ‘Final Hours of Tomb Raider’ developer video series
- Online multiplayer for up to eight players
Between the enhanced visuals, gritty story, and bonus materials, this release delivers everything short of an actual expedition into ancient tombs. Curious how the port holds up? You can scope out the newly released video trailer for a taste of how Lara’s journey translates to Nintendo’s hardware.
Price, Discounts, and Where to Play
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is live right now on the Nintendo eShop for £17 or $20. There’s good news if you’re already a fan, anyone who picked up either Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft or Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered for Switch gets an automatic 10% discount on this new release.
Multiplayer mode supports up to eight players online, letting you dive into Lara’s world with friends. While this port is perfectly at home on Switch, it also works on the newly released Switch 2, expanding Lara’s fanbase wherever you’re playing.
For those tracking Lara’s journey beyond the console, the franchise is still in the pop culture spotlight. The Netflix anime The Legend of Lara Croft just dropped its second season trailer, and Rhianna Pratchett, who penned the 2013 reboot, has spoken recently about her experience writing Lara’s rebirth.
Between the secret launch, all-in-one content, and fresh Switch hardware support, this is one of the biggest stealth drops of the year for Tomb Raider fans.
