Shadow of the Tomb Raider is getting additional DLC content, and this particular adventure looks like it could take place after the end of the main game. 

Lara Croft's latest gambit, The Path Home, is hitting platforms later this month, so you don't have much longer to wait to see how things shake out for your favorite tomb raider – and it looks like this is a story that's supposed to happen after you complete the main campaign, though there haven't been official details shared about much of the plot just yet. 

But there are some interesting things we can ascertain from what we've seen. Lara is wearing a different outfit in early screenshots of the DLC, which might mean we're also getting classic costumes or something of the sort – like her original outfit. Whether or not that means we might see the

The Path Home follows the end of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. With the battle over but allies gone missing, Lara must search for them while uncovering an ancient mystery.

Ozzie Mejia reviewed Shadow of the Tomb Raider, awarding it a 7 out of 10:

"As a final blowoff to the Trinity saga, I couldn't help but walk away feeling that the resolution to the story and to Lara Croft's character could have been so much better. But in terms of a pure "Tomb Raider" game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is everything a bold explorer could ask for, giving players a vast jungle to explore and daring them to master it."

The DLC will be making its debut on April 23 for Season Pass owners, and it will not be available on its own separately without the pass. If you want to play it, right now you'll have to make sure you have the pass to jump in.
