It was early October that Square Enix announced that their third installment of the Tomb Raider series, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, would be getting seven DLC’s. These seven DLC’s would be coming out roughly once a month and would be bonus tombs that weren’t in the game, the first being The Forge, which came out on November 13. This DLC came with a new mini-story, a new cosmetic, and a new gun.
But, knowing from The Forge announcements, Square Enix wasn’t done yet. Teaming up with Eidos-Montréal and Crystal Dynamics once more, the developers have announced the second DLC coming to Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Pillar.

Taking hints from the last DLC “The Forge”, there are a few things we can assume although there are no concrete details on what will happen in this one. There is a good chance that Lara will get another new cosmetic that’s specifically only for “The Pillar”, as well as a new weapon, and a new skill that Lara can obtain to use in the game. These are the first three rewards that players will achieve, as well as a possible set of Trophies for in-game as well.
However, with this announcement, the official Tomb Raider twitter released a short video of the developers and creators talking about the upcoming DLC’s and the work that they put into them:

So while it doesn’t talk about what “The Pillar” is about, it does show off some bits that could be within the DLC.
“The Pillar” will be available on December 18, 2018, for PC, PS4, and XBox One. “The Pillar” will most likely be available for $4.99 USD, as “The Forge” was, but those with Season Passes will be able to download it when it comes out.
