With the footage already out, it is confirmed that the "20 Year Celebration Edition" will launch as a complete pack. Aside from support for the new modes, the upcoming launch will also unlock all existing expansion packs for the game, as well as additional premium DLCs for the game, "Blood Ties" and "Lara's Nightmare." There are also a number of bonus Expedition cards.

The launch trailer also announces an additional bonus for hardcore fans of the franchise. Playing "Rise of The Tomb Raider" during the launch week, or logging in from Oct. 11 to 18, will give players 100,000 free in-game credits. The credits can then be used for in-game upgrades.

"Rise of The Tomb Raider" players on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC will also get the bonus.

The launch trailer is for the PS4 edition of "Rise of The Tomb Raider." Prior to the launch next week, the game has been enjoying a year-long exclusivity for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
