Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a 2018 action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix. As the sequel to Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015), it is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series and the final installment of the Survivor trilogy. The story follows Lara Croft as she ventures through the tropical regions of the Americas to the legendary city of Paititi, battling the paramilitary organization Trinity while racing to stop a Mayan apocalypse she inadvertently unleashed. To survive, Lara must traverse treacherous environments and combat enemies using firearms and stealth across various semi-open hubs. In these areas, players can raid challenge tombs to unlock rewards, complete side missions, and scavenge for resources to craft essential gear.
