A new trailer had been released by Square Enix to unveil what fans should look forward to when "Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration" comes out in stores next week.

The upcoming special edition of the critically-acclaimed "Rise of the Tomb Raider" game will come with a lot of new features to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the popular action-adventure video game. This will come with Lara Croft's exhilarating adventures during her first expedition in Siberia's most unstable and remote regions.

The 20th-anniversary edition also comes with all of the game's previously released downloadable contents, including "Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch," "Endurance Mode," and "Cold Darkness Awakened."

But the new special edition release of "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will come with the all-new "Blood Ties" single player downloadable content. This will allow the players to go through the Croft Manor located in the main story mode. Here, the players can defend the manor against a creepy zombie invasion in "Lara's Nightmare" mode.

Lara must also prove that she is the rightful heir to her father's manor by finding proof of her ownership after her uncle tries to steal the property away from her.

There will also be a new online co-op expansion pack called "Endurance Mode" included in the upcoming release. This will allow players to raid tombs located in the wilderness with each other. Up to two players must work together to succeed in the said expansion pack.

The game will also come with 12 outfits that Lara Croft will use in the game, 7 brand new weapons, as well as 35 expedition cards that players can use in more than 50 hours of gameplay.

The "Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration" special edition video game will be released for the PlayStation 4 on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
