Tomb Raider pre-order incentives and editions detailed

Square will be offering a whole host of different versions of the new Tomb Raider and today they’ve detailed exactly what UK gamers can get their hands-on if they pre-order the game.

Two different versions of the game will be released, the Survival Edition which comes with a mini art book compiled by Tomb Raider’s Art Director Brian Horton, a detailed double sided map of the game’s island setting and a protective survival pouch.The digital version of the Survival Edition comes with a code to access the soundtrack and a DLC weapon pack.

The Deluxe Edition comes with everything in the Survival edition plus a 6” Play Arts Kai Lara Croft figurine and will come housed in a unique Endurance crew member’s metal survival box.

As far as the extra pre-order incentives go, well it depends on what retailer you purchase the game from, which I know is not everyone’s favourite way of getting their hands on the extras. So far the following option have been announced today.
