Shadow of the Tomb Raider is free on the Epic Games Store next week Alongside Submerged: Hidden Depths. News by Matt Wales Reporter Published on 25 Aug 2022 6 comments Anyone with a hankering for some glum action-adventuring should keep an eye on the Epic Games Store next, when Shadow of the Tomb Raider - the final instalment in Square Enix's gloomy rebooted series - will be free to download, alongside Submerged: Hidden Depths. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, if you're unfamiliar, picks up its narrative around a year after the events of 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider, following young Lara Croft as she races through the Peruvian jungle in a bid to stop a Mayan apocalypse. "This is a well-crafted and polished experience," Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson wrote in her Shadow of the Tomb Raider review in 2018, "and when [it] actually gives you full control and leaves you alone to seek out its quieter mysteries, it can render you wide-eyed with wonder".

This Lara has forgotten herself and forgotten the joy and the thrill." Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be free on the Epic Store alongside Submerged: Hidden Depths - an exploration adventure set in a sunken world - from next Thursday, 1st September for one week. Before then, "rogue like card crawler" Ring of Pain is free to download.
