Rise of the Tomb Raider
The game was supported by downloadable content, and its first post-launch update was released on 4 December 2015. It introduced an endurance mode, with elements of a survival game as Lara hunts and crafts items while facing hidden dangers and environmental hazards. The first story add-on, "Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch", was released on 26 January 2016 for Xbox One. "Cold Darkness Awakened", the third DLC, introduced a horde mode in which Lara fights waves of infected enemies. A "Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20th Year Celebration" edition was released for PlayStation 4 on 11 October 2016. The edition (developed by Nixxes Software and Crystal Dynamics) adds several new features, including a classic outfit inspired by "Tomb Raider III"; cooperative gameplay for endurance mode; "Blood Ties", a combat-free mode in which Lara explores the Croft manor; and "Lara's Nightmare", in which players fight infected enemies in the manor. The DLC was free of charge to season-pass holders. To promote the "20th Year Celebration" edition, the marketing team hung a jeep from the side of a building in Times Square. "Blood Ties" supported PlayStation VR when "20th Year Celebration" was released, and Oculus Rift and HTC Vive were supported on 6 December 2017. Feral Interactive released the game for macOS and Linux in April 2018.
