Hidden Achievements Suggest New Tomb Raider DLC May Have Leaked A set of removed Steam achievements hints at a potential update or mode for Tomb Raider 1–3 Remastered

Lara Croft has had a surprisingly busy run over the last two years, even as the future of her next major game remains unclear. In November alone, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition unexpectedly dropped for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Before that, players enjoyed remasters of Tomb Raider 1–3, followed by refreshed versions of Tomb Raider 4–6 earlier this year.

Now, a new discovery suggests even more Tomb Raider content might be on the way.

🔍 Hidden Achievements Hint at New Mode or DLC

A recent post on the Tomb Raider subreddit revealed 15 hidden Steam achievements for Tomb Raider 1–3 Remastered. These achievements have since disappeared from Steam’s listings, implying they were removed — or taken down prematurely.

A Reddit user posted screenshots of the supposed achievements, all labeled with TRX:CR, stirring immediate speculation within the community. While the text is small in the screenshot, the leaked list appears to be fully visible and includes challenges tied to specific in-game conditions.

Below is the full rumored list of hidden achievements:

TRX:CR | Adept Adventure – Complete a level on CR 10
TRX:CR | Raider of Tombs – Complete 3 levels on CR 15
TRX:CR | Apex Predator – Complete a CR10 level with Mutant Mayhem, Mob Mobilisation, Atlantean Achievements, and Cryptid Chaos
TRX:CR | Capable Croft – Complete a level on CR 5
TRX:CR | Expert Explorer – Complete a level on CR 20
TRX:CR | Fish Out of Water – Complete a CR10 level in a wetsuit without entering water
TRX:CR | Gotta Go Fast! – Complete a CR5 level in under 3 minutes
TRX:CR | Heroic Heroine – Complete a level on CR 25
TRX:CR | Megalodon’t – Defeat all sharks on 40 Fathoms with “All Hands on Deck,” Enemy Damage 150%, and CR 10
TRX:CR | Pacifist – Complete a CR10 level without killing anyone
TRX:CR | Peak Lara – Complete a level on CR 30 with no outfit bonuses
TRX:CR | Pistol Prodigy – Complete a CR10 level using only pistols
TRX:CR | Serious Survivalist – Complete a level on CR 15
TRX:CR | Untouchable – Complete a CR10 level without losing any HP

The repeated “CR” phrasing strongly hints that CR may stand for “Challenge Run,” suggesting harder variations of existing levels. Meanwhile, TRX could refer to a new mode identifier, though fans are still speculating about its exact meaning.

🧩 What Could This Update Actually Be?

While some players hope for full DLC expansions, the wording of these achievements makes a free update with a new difficulty mode far more likely.

Why?

The achievements consistently mention completing levels at different CR difficulty tiers
Several challenges mention enemy damage modifiers, special conditions, and replay enhancements
No text references new maps or story content

This suggests a mode focused on increased challenge, modifiers, timed runs, and hardcore conditions, similar to “Mirror Mode” or “Master Quest” variations seen in other remasters.

If accurate, players could soon revisit classic Tomb Raider levels with entirely new restrictions and difficulty options.

❗ No Official Confirmation… Yet

As of now, Aspyr — the studio behind the remasters — has not confirmed any new update or DLC. The achievements disappearing from Steam could mean:

They were uploaded early by mistake
They are being revised
They belong to an unannounced update

Until Aspyr clarifies the situation, the leaked achievements remain unverified — but the community is buzzing with excitement.

🎮 Platform Availability

Tomb Raider 1–3 Remastered is currently available on:

PC
PS4
PS5
Xbox One
Xbox Series X|S
Nintendo Switch

It’s unclear whether any potential new mode or DLC would release across all platforms or remain exclusive to Steam, where the leaks originated.

🏆 Final Thoughts

Even without official confirmation, these hidden achievements are a promising sign that more Tomb Raider content may be on the way. Whether it’s a full DLC drop or a free challenge mode, fans itching for new reasons to revisit Lara’s early adventures may have something to look forward to soon.
