Nintendo fans, prepare for an epic adventure! In a major development for portable gaming, the complete, enhanced version of Lara Croft’s critically acclaimed origin story, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, has officially landed on the Nintendo eShop. This thrilling action-adventure title is available now for both the existing Nintendo Switch and the newly launched Nintendo Switch 2.
For the first time ever, players can experience the dramatic 2013 reboot—a game that redefined the iconic heroine—on a Nintendo platform. Dive deep into the dangerous, mysterious island of Yamatai as Lara transforms from a frightened young woman into a resourceful survivor, battling both natural elements and the fanatical Solarii cult.
