"Cold Darkness Awakened," the upcoming downloadable content for "Rise of the Tomb Raider," will be arriving on March 29. Players will be able to see the conclusion of Lara Croft's pursuit of the ruthless organization, Trinity.

According to Xbox, the third and final installment for "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will see Lara travel to the Siberian wilderness after a deadly virus has been unleashed from a dormant research base that was decommissioned during the Cold War. As the illness spreads into the areas surrounding the base, Trinity soldiers transform into bloodthirsty predators. Lara will have to fight off waves of the nightmarish army to avoid getting infected and try to shut down the decommissioned research facility.

Players will have to summon Lara's wits, physical abilities and crafting abilities in order to overcome her new zombie enemies.

The DLC will include the Ushanka outfit that will help reduce damage from attacks, the effective Voidhammer shotgun, and the "Cold Darkness Awakened" Card Pack with 15 new Expedition Cards.
