Shadow of the Tomb Raider - the 11th title in the Tomb Raider Series - has been released for early access users on 12 September 2018. The new game, concluding the Reboot story arch, will be released on 14 September 2018 for everyone.

From the Trailer on YouTube as well as the Path of the Stars Puzzle on the official website we can conclude that the new game will be indeed set in the Meso-American jungles - as hinted at in the end credits of its predecessor, Rise of the Tomb Raider -, filled with ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered. The movement of celestial bodies seem to play a vital role to the story, as can be concluded from the stylized eclipse in the new logo...

The tenth title of the series, Rise of the Tomb Raider, was release on 10 November 2015 on Xbox One and Xbox 360 (13 November in Europe). The PC version was released on 28 January 2016. — After the traumatising events of the last "Tomb Raider", Lara Croft has to deal with accepting her fate as an adventurer while searching for a powerful artefact - promising eternal life - hidden the lost city of Kitezh.

The Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Edition was released on 11 October 2016. This is the first version of Rise of the Tomb Raider available for the PlayStation 4 and it includes all previous DLC as well as many new features like a new playable level in the Croft Manor called Blood Ties. In it, Lara has to prove that she is the rightful heir to the manor. Also, includes Blood Ties: Lara's Nightmare, where a horde of undead is trying to take over the manor.

Lara Croft GO is the second game made exclusively for modern Smartphones and Tablet PCs that was published on 27 August 2015. This turn based adventure sends Lara into an ancient temple hidden in the jungle. Lara Croft GO includes deadly traps and fearsome enemies await her. A further 26 levels were released on 26 November 2015.

Game Elements

A Tomb Raider game usually consists of several levels of different length. In the Classic Tomb Raiders, as well as The Angel of Darkness a game section (taking place at the same location) consisted of several levels. Since Tomb Raider Legend and the usage of a streaming engine, a division of the sections is unnecessary. Only tradition brought back several levels in one location in Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Underworld.

Important in-game elements in Tomb Raider are Enemies, Traps and Puzzles.

Characters

Many characters played an important role throughout the Tomb Raider games.
