The first initial DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider is available now at the Xbox Store for Xbox One. Titled Endurance Mode, this will task us as seeing how long we can survive with Lara over a multitude of different days and obstacles. In fact, one achievement even lets us warm up by using a fire to prevent us from freezing to death. As you can tell from the official description, the DLC is not what you are used to with the base game and its setup
Fire takes fuel, cold kills the unprepared, food restores health, but everything must be caught, collected, or crafted. You start with nothing and must find everything. Challenge friends to your longest survival run and battle to the top of the leaderboards for the title of Ultimate Survivor.
Baba Yaga: The temple of the witch, which was shown at The Game Awards, and Cold Darkness Awakened are the 2nd and 3rd DLC packs respectively but won’t be out until 2016. The Steam version of ROTR will launch in January with of course, the PS4 version not coming until November with the year long exclusivity.
The DLC is available now from the Xbox Store.
