Aspyr Hints Entire Tomb Raider Trilogy Could Hit Nintendo

Tomb Raider on Switch

Nintendo fans reacted strongly to a surprise Switch shadow drop of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.
Aspyr says that passionate fan response could influence bringing the full Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy to Nintendo platforms.
The studio added it "can't announce anything at the moment," leaving the possibility open but unconfirmed.

What changed: a surprise Switch shadow drop

One of the recent shadow drops saw Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition appear for the Nintendo Switch and references to Switch 2. That unannounced release triggered a notable reaction among Nintendo players online.

Why the response matters

Aspyr — the studio connected to the release — pointed to the "passionate response" from Nintendo fans as a factor that could encourage wider support for the franchise on Nintendo hardware. Public enthusiasm for ports and remasters can help convince rights holders and developers to invest in additional platform releases.

Aspyr's current stance

The company was careful not to confirm future plans. As Aspyr put it, it "can't announce anything at the moment," signaling that while the idea is on the table, no formal deal or schedule has been revealed.

What "entire Survivor trilogy" would mean

The phrase refers to bringing the collection of recent Tomb Raider entries — often grouped by their shared narrative or gameplay arc — to Nintendo’s portable and hybrid consoles. For fans, a trilogy release would mean access to the full modern reboot storyline on Switch systems.

Timing and availability remain unknown

There is no timeline or official confirmation for additional ports beyond the Definitive Edition shadow drop. Aspyr’s comment leaves room for future announcements but does not commit to any specific releases.

What to watch for next

Keep an eye on official channels from Aspyr and the Tomb Raider IP holders for announcements. Gaming events, publisher updates and official store pages are the most reliable places to confirm any new Switch or Switch 2 releases.

For now, Nintendo fans can take solace in the fact that their collective reaction was noticed — but they should temper expectations until formal announcements arrive.
