Players who decided to purchase "Rise of the Tomb Raider" through GameStop before its release date next month will get several bonus gifts, according to the American video game retail giant.

Based on the announcement posted on GameStop's official Facebook page, one of the bonus items that players will receive after pre-ordering "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is the Apex Predator Pack. This will include several items such as the Apex Predator Outfit, a patchwork garment made from metals, furs, and different scraps of cloth. The outfit is allegedly designed to lessen the injury that Lara can acquire during her encounter with dangerous animals.

The Apex Predator Pack will also come with the new high-powered pistol called the Venom Hand Cannon. It will provide incredible stopping power as well as the option to modify and upgrade in several ways.

In addition, the bonus Apex Predator Pack will come with the Holy Fire Card pack that will give Lara several fire-themed upgrades. It includes Backfire card, the Holy Fire card, the Chicken Bomb card, as well as the Luck and the Blazing Inferno ability cards.

Another pre-order bonus will be given to those who will purchase the game for Xbox One. By picking up the game at any GameStop stores on Nov. 10, they will be given an exclusive limited-edition "Rise of the Tomb Raider" poster designed by renowned graphic artist Frank Kozik. However, this item is on a first-come, first-serve basis, which means that players have to pick up their copies of the game early to be able to get the free poster.

"Rise of the Tomb Raider" is the sequel to the critically acclaimed "Tomb Raider" reboot that was released by Crystal Dynamics back in 2013. It will be released for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 platforms on Nov. 10 in North America and Nov. 13 in the EU under a timed exclusivity agreement with Microsoft. It will still be released on PC in the first quarter of next year, while PlayStation players will be able to purchase the game for PlayStation 4 towards the end of 2016.
