Review: Rise Of The Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration (Switch 2) - The Crown Jewel Of The Survivor Trilogy
Aspyr has released Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration on Nintendo Switch 2, announced during a June 2026 Nintendo Direct. This port follows Aspyr’s successful 2025 release of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot on both Switch and Switch 2.
The arrival of Rise of the Tomb Raider on Switch 2 addresses earlier speculation about whether the full Survivor Trilogy would come to Nintendo’s platforms. While the status of Shadow of the Tomb Raider remains uncertain, this latest release demonstrates continued momentum in bringing major titles to Nintendo’s handheld hardware.
According to early coverage, Rise of the Tomb Raider appears to be a solid port, representing arguably the best entry in the Survivor Trilogy. The game builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, refining the strengths of the original Tomb Raider reboot. However, the more advanced graphics of this sequel do result in some performance trade-offs on the Switch 2, though reviewers suggest these compromises are reasonable given what’s preserved from the original experience.
The port highlights the growing library of sophisticated, graphically-demanding games coming to Nintendo’s latest hardware, with Aspyr continuing to demonstrate expertise in bringing console experiences to the Switch platform.
