Shadow of the Tomb Raider initially launched with an alternative ending, which was patched out on day one. Square Enix sent a statement out to numerous sites to confirm the mistake.
However, one player has unpatched Shadow of the Tomb Raider to find out how the alternative ending played out. According to the statement sent out by Square to fan-sites who had received the game, they encouraged them to download the day-one patch.
“Unfortunately one of the directions that was considered, but not chosen, was mistakenly included in the game,” wrote Square. “The Day One patch fixes this error, along with many other improvements. As always, we highly recommend that our players install the patch to enjoy the complete and most up-to-date experience.”
