Lara's Shadow is an exclusive chapter of Tomb Raider Underworld for Xbox 360.

Lara's Shadow allows us to control Lara's deadly facsimile, the Doppelganger in a mission to put an end to the Croft lineage once and for all.

It's speculated that half of the game involves you in the Doppelganger's own storyline until the events of Underworld, where you play from her point of view. Then the rest of the game involves the continuation from the events of Beneath the Ashes, where you go after Jacqueline Natla under Lara's orders. It's also speculated that one of the levels starts as the Doppelganger emerges from the pool of Eitr in Helheim, thus showing her having not died (as we've obviously seen in Beneath the Ashes). Thralls of all kinds lurk about and controlling the Doppelganger and her new Shadow Powers, you must destroy them and find your way out. The only mission we know of at the moment; not much has been revealed about it yet. As of now, Helheim is not a confirmed location.
