All great things eventually must come to an end — and the conclusion of the Tomb Raider reboot series signifies that. Preceded by two incredible entries, Shadow of the Tomb Raider marks the end of the reboot trilogy with its debut on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 14.
If you’re planning on joining Lara’s journey to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, it’s dangerous to go alone. Use this pre-order guide to overcome the challenges of the deadly jungle and tombs to become the ultimate Tomb Raider.
From pre-order bonuses to special editions, we’ve got everything covered for you in this guide.
Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-ordering any physical edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider from most retailers nabs you a collector’s steelbook case with three art cards. All digital versions of the game come with a skills booster pack that enhances skills in all three skill trees.
You also get access to the game 48 hours early if you pre-order any edition above Standard.
Here are the retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses. These only apply to all pre-order options except the Standard Edition and its Limited Steelbook variant.
Standard Edition
Price: $59.99
For a time, you will be able to pre-order Limited Steelbook variants of the Standard Edition. These are the same as the Standard Edition, just with a Steelbook case.
The Standard Edition of the game can be purchased either physically or digitally for $59.99. It comes with the pre-order bonuses seen above, along with any retailer exclusives when purchasing physically. There are no additional bonuses. The Limited Steelbook is a good choice but is not available for PC.
Digital Deluxe Edition
Price: $69.99
The Digital Deluxe version of the game is the lowest tier that gives access to the 48-hour early access. Additionally, this version comes with a digital game soundtrack and an outfit/weapon pack. Each digital outlet comes with a small platform bonus as well such as a theme or avatar outfit.
Croft Steelbook Edition
Price: $89.99
For those who are confident they’ll be raiding and exploring for a while, the Croft Edition of the game comes with all the standard pre-order bonuses along with the Season Pass ($29.99 value) and three additional weapons/outfits.
Season Pass content will release on a monthly basis starting in October 2018. For seven months, each update will come with a new “Path” — including a new story, missions, a Challenge tomb, a new weapon, new outfit, and a new skill. Some of the Challenge Tombs will come with new co-op features.
Ultimate Edition
Price: $199.99
The most dedicated, hardcore Tomb Raider fans may have already nabbed up the limited amount of Ultimate Editions available, but there is a waiting list on the Square Enix Store for $200. If you’re lucky enough to get this edition, it will come with a statue of Lara, a climbing ax bottle opener, a flashlight, along with all of the extras from any of the cheaper editions.
