Developed by Eidos and Published by Square Enix, Shadow of the Tomb Raider on PlayStation 4 has just received its second installment of PS4 DLC called The Pillar which is now available!
Prepare to discover the truth behind the legend of the Maya apocalypse in The Pillar and reclaim an ancient treasure, as Lara Croft defies the treacherous storms of an all-new challenge tomb all while fighting Trinity.
Here's more from their official Press Release, to quote: Shadow of the Tomb Raider - The Pillar
We are excited to announce “The Pillar,” the second of seven new DLC adventures for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, is available now.
Out as a free download to all Season Pass holders, and sold separately, “The Pillar” is available for the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC/Steam.
In “The Pillar,” players will venture into the game’s newest challenge tomb known as Path of Huracan to discover the truth behind the legend of the Maya apocalypse. To reclaim an ancient treasure, Lara Croft must defy the treacherous storms of an all-new challenge tomb, all while fighting the forces of Trinity.
“The Pillar” offers new customization options with the Tunic of the Shorn One outfit, which reduces damage from projectile weapons and allows additional ammo to be crafted. The Oathtaker’s bow deals greater damage to armored enemies, and the A Thousand Eyes skill allows Lara to use Survival Instincts when moving through tree canopies or concealment walls.
The first DLC release “The Forge” is also available now, and it is playable in either co-op or single-player. Tombs from the main campaign, “Court of Death,” “Gate of Xibalba,” “Xolotl”, and “Warrior’s Trial” are all now playable in Score Attack and Time Attack modes.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is available now worldwide on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC/Steam. Grab your copy at TombRaider.com/Buy-Now.

While there have been work-arounds for creating and using alternate / different region PSN accounts on the PlayStation 4 for years, some European users including AlphaFoxWarfare report that options to change both the PlayStation Store Country / Region and Language settings have recently appeared in their PSN Menu... although they currently don't function to allow users to change the PlayStation Store region and language.
Mainstream media sites including GearNuke.com and PlayStationLifeStyle.net speculate that perhaps Sony hasn't rolled out this feature just yet, but they could be preparing to in coming months.
To quote: "In the absence of the an official announcement from Sony, users are experimenting with the option themselves. It seems that despite appearing in the store menu, it isn't functional yet. Either Sony slipped and the feature appeared prematurely, or the company's gearing up to set it live soon and this was just the first step."
If you're able to access the PS Store Country / Region and Language settings menu feel free to share your feedback in the comments below, and as this feature hasn't officially rolled out yet one can't help but wonder if there will be any limitation or restriction imposed on the number of times Sony will allow such changes per PSN account.
Recently the PlayStation 4 turned five years old, and on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment in celebration of over 81.2 million units sold PlayStation Korea made available a PS4 five year anniversary trailer video full of fond PlayStation memories.
Dubbed "The Beginning of Everything" check it out below, and from the video's rough translation:
The start of all that PlayStation 4 5th anniversary.. Thanks!
