Shadow of the Tomb Raider First DLC is Out Now

Lara Croft has more adventures to tackle. Square Enix, Eidos-Montréal and Crystal Dynamics have announced that "The Forge," the first of seven new DLC adventures for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, is available now. Out as a free download to all Season Pass holders, and sold separately, “The Forge” is available for various platforms, including, of course, the Xbox One.

So, what are fans to expect? In “The Forge,” Lara must brave the lava-flooded Forge of the fallen gods to uncover the secrets of Kuwaq Yaku. Throughout her journey, she will uncover details about a friend’s ancient legacy, and overcome a danger long thought to be lost in flame. “The Forge” delivers a brand-new challenge tomb, playable in both solo and co-op. Players who complete the challenge tomb will be rewarded with the Grenadier skill, Brocken outfit, and Umbrage 3-80 weapon.

A completely new adventure, “The Forge” is the first of seven monthly DLC adventures available through the Season Pass, providing players with an abundance of new content, challenge tombs, co-op experiences, weapons and outfits, gameplay modes, and new narrative side missions.

Oh, and an interesting tidbit, iff you own Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and you purchase the DLC content, you can invite a friend who also owns Shadow of the Tomb Raider to join your play session for co-op tomb raiding. Players can look forward to the second DLC release, “The Pillar,” arriving this December.

And one final piece of news, two tombs from the main game, “Court of Death” and “Gate of Xibalba,” will be playable in Score Attack and Time Attack. “Court of Death” will be playable in those modes on Nov. 13, and “Gate of Xibalba” will be playable on Nov. 27.
