Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration has arrived on Switch 2, bringing Crystal Dynamics' 2015 Lara Croft reboot to Nintendo's next-generation handheld.
The original Rise of the Tomb Raider was developed by Crystal Dynamics and first released in 2015; the Switch 2 release is a port handled by Aspyr, the studio that also delivered last year's Tomb Raider: Definite Edition port for Nintendo hardware.
This release positions Rise of the Tomb Raider among other recent Tomb Raider ports and remakes targeting the Switch ecosystem and eShop storefront.
Aspyr has confirmed that the 20 Year Celebration edition bundles every previously released add-on: all season pass content, standalone DLC episodes, exclusive outfits and weapons, and bonus extras.
In journalistic terms, Aspyr said the package consolidates all downloadable content released for Rise of the Tomb Raider into a single edition for Switch 2 players.
What the 20 Year Celebration edition includes:
- All Season Pass content and DLC: Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch; Cold Darkness Awakened; Blood Ties; Lara's Nightmare; Endurance Mode; and Co-op Endurance.
- All exclusives: eight DLC outfits and seven DLC weapons.
- Extras and bonuses: 35 expansion cards, Extreme Survivor difficulty, five classic Lara skins, and the TR III Reimagined 'Antarctica' outfit.
This release follows the surprise arrival of Tomb Raider: Definite Edition on Nintendo platforms last November, showing continued support for Lara Croft titles on Nintendo hardware.
Aspyr has previously discussed the potential of bringing the full reboot trilogy to Nintendo platforms in interviews, though no official confirmation has been issued regarding a Switch 2 version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Separately, a remake of the first Lara Croft adventure, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, has been confirmed to launch on Switch 2 early next year.
Developers also acknowledged that AI-generated content was used during Legacy of Atlantis' development, a detail disclosed in recent developer commentary.
For players returning to Rise of the Tomb Raider or trying it on Nintendo hardware for the first time, the 20 Year Celebration edition on Switch 2 provides the most complete package yet, with every major add-on and bonus included.
