Tomb Raider: How to get for free on Epic Games Store

The holiday giveaway on the Epic Games Store ends with a bang as the last three free games are Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider (2016), and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018).

Games from the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy, in which we follow a younger version of the legendary archaeologist Lara Croft, are considered some of the best action-adventure games from the past decade.

They are praised for their spectacular visuals and frenetic action, as well as intriguing story and gritty atmosphere with a lot of realistic violence, something which hasn't been a characteristic of previous Tomb Raider games.

If you never had a chance to play these fantastic games now it is your perfect chance, as they are all free to claim and keep forever on the Epic Games Store!

Here's how to get them!
