In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara Croft embarks on a perilous journey through the icy wilderness of Siberia in search of the lost city of Kitezh. Along the way, she must contend with the harsh environment, deadly wildlife and the secretive organization Trinity, which is after a powerful relic. Players can engage in combat using a variety of firearms, including pistols, shotguns and rifles or take a stealthier approach with melee weapons and a bow.

A crafting system enhances survival, allowing players to upgrade weapons, craft ammunition and create useful tools from gathered resources.
