Rise of the Tomb Raider Arrives on Switch 2, Gyro Aiming on the Table

TL;DR Summary
Aspyr confirms Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, built to preserve the original's magic while leveraging newer hardware; the original Switch was not powerful enough for a quality port, and 60fps was not feasible without notable visual compromises. The team spent months optimizing for Switch 2 at 30fps to maintain fidelity, and gyro aiming is being considered but not guaranteed. The reveal came via a recent Nintendo Direct, with hints at more Tomb Raider games on Switch in the future.
