Square Enix’s March 18 event started early forTomb Raiderfans, it seems. Ahead of the planned broadcast, one of the apparent announcements of the event was discovered to be already available. That being a bundle collecting all of the modernTomb Raidergames packaged into what Square Enix is calling theTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy. The bundle’s currently available on both the PlayStation and Microsoft storefronts for a very surprising and affordable price.
The bundle includes all three of the majorTomb Raiderreleases of the past decade. It starts with the 2013 reboot of theTomb Raiderfranchise, which was self-titled. Next isRise of the Tomb Raider, the 2015 sequel that sees Lara exploring her father’s unfinished work. Lastly, there’sShadow of the Tomb Raider, developed by Eidos Montreal instead of Crystal Dynamics. In Shadow of theTomb Raider, Lara takes on a paramilitary organization hunting for a mysterious power.

Naturally, being an all-encompassing bundle, theTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogyalso includes all of each games' respective DLC and content. For example,Shadow of the Tomb Raiderfeatured post-launch content likechallenge tombs, weapons, outfits, and even skillsthat mix up the game’s action in exciting ways.
The best part of theTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogybundle, however, is the game’s initial price point. The retail price for the bundle is technically $49.99, a full-priced offering. However, it seems that Square Enix wants to give back to excitedTomb Raider fans, at least to start. TheTomb Raiderbundle is discounted down to $19.99 on both storefronts for the time being. This special discount price will apparently last for 14 days before it jumps back up to the full price, so interested gamers should make the most of it the sale while it’s available.
It’s possible that the huge discount is an accident. TheTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogydid release prior to theSquare Enix event, which could mean not everything is going to plan. The discount has now been live for several hours, however, and Square Enix hasn’t pulled it from storefronts. As such, it seems like an intentional decision.
The question is whether the release of theTomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogyperhaps implies that a newTomb Raidergame is in the works. There’s been no official announcement regarding that, outside of afree-to-playTomb Raidermobile game. But maybe Crystal Dynamics or Eidos Montreal have a surprise in store forTomb Raiderfans, for the relatively near future.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogyis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
