Shadow of the Tomb Raider more or less came and went upon its PlayStation 4 release last September, but we've heard that the DLC released for it post-launch actually ended up being pretty good. Starting next month, you'll be able to purchase that base game and all additional content in one transaction as the Definitive Edition bundles it all together both digitally and physically.
Coming to PS4 on 5th November, it includes the original Shadow of the Tomb Raider experience alongside all seven additional tombs that were added after launch. That includes every new side mission, weapon, skill, and outfit. Season pass owners will have their copy of the game automatically upgraded to the Definitive Edition, although it doesn't actually come with any extra goodies.
We'd like to think that this won't be a full-price release, but a monetary value hasn't been assigned just yet. Are you interested in checking Shadow of the Tomb Raider out along with its DLC? Let us know in the comments below.

Completed the story then sold it on. Was the dlc any good?
Got the game for like £17 new last Christmas but the season pass had never dropped to a price id pay. If it was anything like the previous games DLC it wasn't worth it personally. But I did get it all in the PS4 release since they added it all in Rise of TR so didn't pay but if I did I would have been disappointed
Maybe for $20.
I'm good with waiting. Rise of the Tomb Raider was a tad too... meh. I finished it though, and it was a great benchmark tool for my PC.
i just hope the dlc and patches is on the disc, then i will gladly buy it again
Enjoyed the first two. Yet to play this one to finish the trilogy so the cheaper it is, the better.
Will this be cheaper than the Steelbook Croft edition, which is currently only $25? I hope this new edition comes with everything on disk and depend on a code like the Croft edition (I'm also looking at you, GOTY Spider-man). Codes can be already used by code generators.
I bought the croft edition day one. each DLC of the season pass provide 45 min of gameplay approx.
I think shadow of the tomb raider is the worst one of the reboot, many glitches at the launch date, weak story. however the gameplay is pretty enjoyable.
@badbob001 I know it not a GOTY Edition if you just print some DLC codes and shove it in with the old game.
Keen to play this. Been looking at it recently. If it’s in the 25-29 price bracket I’ll probably pick it up.
Glad I waited this long to be fair.
@Kidfunkadelic83 The DLC was pretty great, yeah. Each of the tombs felt quite substantial and there was some neat narrative context for all of them. They fit in around the ongoing campaign, so playing it from start to finish as a "complete" game will make it all feel pretty epic.
One of them is my all-time favourite Tomb Raider tomb, with another coming in a close second. If you're a fan of the genre, let alone the franchise itself, then there's a lot to love here.
If you're not, though, they won't likely change your mind.
a disc with some dlc codes in the box
@RogerRoger thanks for the response. I didnt mind the game at all. I have a pretty short attention span and all 3 tomb raiders have been completed, well story wise anyway. Didnt get half the collectables tho. May grab it when it's cheap.
@Kidfunkadelic83 My pleasure. I'm a big fan of the franchise in general, but I think Shadow was (and is) a highlight overall, especially when taken with the eight DLC tombs.
Here's hoping the price is right but yeah, don't play it in close proximity to any other "rooms full of old things" adventures!
I completed this recently and really enjoyed most of it but it just fell off a cliff during the finale of the game. The actual tombs and music were really good, though.
It's put me in a Tomb Raider mood and I've since bought the other two games in the current sale.
I adored this game. I thought it was stunning, and so much fun to play
I'm glad I waited for the definitive edition now I'll get the full experience and probably cheaper
@TheBuzz yeah if it's a voucher code I won't be interested, at least i can finally go back to playing, i waited so long for the dlc to finish.
Just what I was waiting for. Now to see how it fares in the Steam Sales 😁
@RogerRoger I'm thinking of getting some of these add-ons. Which dlc has your favourite tomb?
@ApostateMage Oddly enough, my favourite of all the DLCs was The Nightmare. I didn't expect it to be, based on trailers and whatnot, and I don't wanna spoil anything but basically, it put a big smile on my face. It's a spectacular audio-visual treat.
Close runner-up is The Grand Caiman for just being gorgeous to look at and a unique twist on Lara's usual plundering nature, even if the gameplay is nothing new.
But they're all just as good as those tombs from the core game.
I don't know if I played the second one. I definitely skipped this one. I like the reboot.
@GKO900 @RogerRoger @LN78 @Constable_What @badbob001 @Boucho11 @LiamCroft Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will be $40 MSRP. No clue what the price is in other countries.

@KidBoruto
That's not a bad price. I won't need to wait that long.
Thanks!
@KidBoruto Thank you! It hasn't appeared here in the UK yet, but that sounds like a pretty good ballpark price for our quids, too.
@RogerRoger @Constable_What You're both very welcome! I expect the Definitive Edition's price to permadrop down to $20 New by Black Friday 2020/Christmas 2020 for sure.
@KidBoruto cheers for the info! Looking forward to giving this a go
