Deep in the wilds of Siberia lies a forest that no man will enter after a Soviet expedition vanished without a trace. Lara enters the Wicked Vale in search of a missing man, but she finds a nightmare that defies explanation. Is the witch, Baba Yaga, haunting the forest? Or is there more to the myth?
Cold Darkness Awakened
A dormant weapons research base, decommissioned during the Cold War, has been breached. A mysterious affliction has been released into the Siberian wilderness, transforming men into blood-thirsty, mindless killers. Lara must overcome increasingly dangerous waves of these infected adversaries while scavenging their equipment.

Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Pack
This pack includes five classic Lara Croft skins, an outfit and weapon inspired by Tomb Raider III and the new Extreme Survivor difficulty setting for the main story.
Extra outfits
These packs provide extra outfits for use in the main story:
• Remnant Resistance
• Sparrowhawk
• Hope's Bastion
• Tactical Survivor
• Apex Predator
• Wilderness Survivor
• Siberian Ranger
• Ancient Vanguard
• Prophet's Legacy
Each outfit will provide you with different abilities such as more carrying space or increasing your resistance against enemy attacks.
In Expeditions mode you can replay chapters from the main campaign, take on skill-based challenges set in different locations from Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, or play new missions separate from the story.
When starting an expedition, you can select up to five cards that alter the mission. Some cards will grant skills or perks that reduce the expedition's difficulty, but also reduce the number of credits earned for completion. Other cards will increase the difficulty as well as increase the number of credits earned for completion.
You can customise which cards you wish to use to balance the difficulty/rewards to your liking. Cards also have different levels of rarity, ranging from one to five stars; higher-rated cards generally grant better perks or increased score multipliers.
Each time you complete an expedition, you will earn credits which can then be spent on virtual packs of randomised cards. You can also sell cards in exchange for more credits. To spend credits on card packs, select Marketplace from the Main Menu.
Most cards are single-use items, but foil cards can be used as many times as you like. Foil cards are easily distinguished by their gold borders and distinct shine on the card selection screen.

Other gamepads may work, but have not been tested and as such are not officially supported. If you have an unlisted gamepad that does not work with Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, email padsupport@feralinteractive.com with information about your device and our support team will try to help you.
Some gamepads support both DirectInput and XInput modes. These gamepads can be identified by a switch on them that has two options, “D” (DirectInput) and “X” (XInput).
To play Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration a gamepad must be supported and set to DirectInput mode.
Currently supported devices that have this switch are:
If your gamepad has the switch and is not on this list, you will not be able to use it to play Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration without a pad support file. To obtain one, email padsupport@feralinteractive.com and our support team will reply to you with a request for information about your device. Once we have this information, we can usually create a gamepad support file and email it to you.
To switch the gamepad to DirectInput mode, follow these instructions:
If the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration application is running, close it.
Unplug the gamepad (or wireless receiver, if the gamepad is wireless).
Turn the switch on the pad to “D”.

Restart the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration application.

The JPEG image contains metadata in a string in the following format.
GameName/Version Number (OS Version; CPU Speed; Installed RAM; Video RAM; Current Graphics Card)
For example in Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration the string might look a little like this:
Rise of the Tomb Raider/1.0 (macOS 10.15; 3.0; 8.0; 4.0; AMD Radeon R9 M395X)

NOTE: None of the metadata stored can be used to identify the user.
No. Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration has been tested with the basic formatting option for Mac OS X, which is HFS+. This system is not case-sensitive and identifies files by name without checking capitalization.
The capitalization of filenames is not consistent throughout the game. While this will not always prevent the game from running on case-sensitive file systems, it may lead to crashes and other unpredictable behaviour.
If you have to run a case-sensitive setup and you experience problems with Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, please install the game on a standard formatted partition or read/write disk image. In most cases this will allow you to play the game on your machine.
There are several factors which have an impact on the speed at which Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration runs. Please see the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Performance Tips section in the ReadMe for ways to increase the speed at which the game runs on your computer.
Please read the technical support information in the ReadMe; this tells you what to check and if necessary, how to contact Feral Technical Support with your issue.
