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.
