Rise of The Tomb Raider Season Pass Detailed

Microsoft and Square Enix have shared more info on the Rise of the Tomb Raider Season Pass, detailing all of the extra content you’ll be able to get your hands on.

Among the offerings is the single-player add-on, Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, a trailer for which was released during The Game Awards earlier this week (I’ve embedded it below). Endurance Mode and the Zombies-sounding Cold Darkness Awakened, meanwhile, provide their own standalone challenges.

In addition to this, the Season Pass also includes Expedition Card Packs and a batch of new outfits and weapon skins. You can find details of all of it below, along with an indication of release dates. The Rise of the Tomb Raider Season Pass costs $29.99.

• Endurance Mode – Releasing December 29: Lara will be tasked with surviving extreme conditions by scrounging, scavenging and crafting during the day. You start with nothing, and must find everything Lara needs to remain alive. She will also face threats from both man and beast by night. It’s basically woman-versus-wild and players will need to survive as long as they can. The DLC comes with a new outfit and weapon and a spot on the leaderboard.

• Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch – Releasing in Early 2016: You saw the trailer from The Game Awards 2015 pre-show, which featured Lara exploring a “forbidden forest” in Siberia. It’s the area where a Soviet expedition vanished without a trace. Lara is looking for a missing man in an area called the Wicked Vale, but instead “finds a nightmare that she cannot explain.” Baba Yaga is rumored to be haunting the forbidden forest, but there may be more to the legend. The DLC features hours of gameplay which expands the story of the main campaign with an all new tomb filled with puzzles. It also comes with a new duds and a bow.

• Cold Darkness Awakened – Releasing in 2016: A Cold War research base with dormant weapons has been breached, and it causes a “serious affliction” to spread through the wilds of Siberian. It has caused both man and beast to become “blood-thirsty, mindless killers.” Lara will need to survive waves of the infected while gathering their equipment and crafting additional gear on the fly. It features new enemies and challenges along with Lara needing to find a a way to stop or reverse the catastrophe. Includes a new outfit and weapon.
