Aspyr Addresses Possibility of Bringing More Tomb Raider Titles to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2
The Tomb Raider franchise has seen a resurgence on Nintendo platforms following the recent release of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming hardware successor, Switch 2.
Developed by Aspyr in collaboration with Crystal Dynamics, this launch marks Lara Croft's 'Survivor' trilogy debut on a Nintendo console—a move that has captured the attention of dedicated fans and industry observers alike.
As excitement builds, many are now eager to know whether other entries from the renowned trilogy—specifically Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider—will also make their way to the Nintendo eShop. In a recent conversation with Nintendo Everything, Jordon Reese, Product Manager at Aspyr, addressed the widespread curiosity within the Nintendo community.
When pressed about the potential for porting the rest of the Survivor trilogy to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Reese stated, "We have definitely seen this question! We’ve successfully brought back the classic era (I-VI) and now the ‘origin story’ of Lara Croft to modern Nintendo platforms.
We can’t announce anything at the moment but the passionate response to this release is strong encouragement for us to continue exploring those possibilities." While there are currently no new titles confirmed for release, this statement makes it clear that Aspyr is closely monitoring the enthusiastic reception from Nintendo Switch fans.
The company’s history with the Tomb Raider series, which includes remastering the original games I through VI, demonstrates their commitment to the franchise and to expanding the library of iconic adventures available on Nintendo hardware. Aspyr’s current priority, according to Reese, is to deliver ongoing improvements to Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for the Switch and the forthcoming Switch 2.
The developer is focused on ensuring the "best possible experience for all players," reaffirming their intent to support both current and next-generation Nintendo consoles.
Furthermore, the interview confirmed that Switch 2 will remain a major focus for Aspyr’s cross-platform offerings in the foreseeable future. As for potential updates to existing Aspyr-published titles on the future Switch 2, no concrete announcements have been made.
However, Reese left the door open, noting that "nothing is necessarily off the table these days." With the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition’s launch representing a milestone for the franchise’s presence on Nintendo, Aspyr’s continued engagement signals that fans could potentially see more of Lara Croft’s journey grace the Switch and Switch 2.
For now, players can look forward to further optimizations and support for the current release, while the broader Nintendo Direct and eShop communities await news of any future Tomb Raider titles on their favorite platforms.
