It’s looking likely that the entire Tomb Raider trilogy will be the free Epic Games Store title for today, December 30 – meaning that anyone with an Epic account will soon be able to claim three of the finest action-adventure games on PC for nothing, an excellent way to cap off the year.
While yesterday’s free game on Epic was the Dark Souls meets Metroidvania title Salt & Sanctuary, today’s offering is rumoured to be a much more substantial present – the entire Tomb Raider trilogy. No, not that one, the reboot trilogy. No, not that one either, the new reboot trilogy, a.k.a. the Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy.
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, this was supposedly leaked earlier this week on the Epic Games Store Reddit and has now been seemingly confirmed by German site MyDealz.de. Furthermore, the current tease on the store itself for the next free game shows a present with what clearly seems to be Lara Croft’s climbing pickaxe.
While an earlier rumour suggested that each game in the trilogy – Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider – may be being made available separately over the next three days, it’s now looking more likely that the entire Definitive Survivor Trilogy will be on Epic for free for 24 hours later today. If the leak is correct, this will be the first time 2013’s Tomb Raider and Shadow have appeared on the Epic store, as only Rise is currently available for some reason.
Several online sources have now stated that this rumor is accurate!
With that being said, it’s super likely that all three games will be available for free tomorrow. https://t.co/tiMDt3WCrq

Nevertheless, this is still a rumour until officially confirmed – although we won’t have long to wait to find out if it is true, and we’ll update this post when we know for certain. While another Tomb Raider game hasn’t yet been announced, there’s a forthcoming Netflix anime series that promises to “unify the timelines” of the various games. Fingers crossed, eh?
