The subsequent Lara Croft journey shall be Shadow Of The Tomb Raider and it’s approaching September 14th, with no interval of console exclusivity this time spherical. Square Enix have been bunging corks into their leaky reveal barge during the last couple of days, however now the teaser trailer is formally right here. It comprises your whole anticipated Lara motion: she climbs a vertical cliff-face, falls down and slams right into a wall, and appears at a sundown above some historical buildings. But wait! That’s no sundown in any respect. It’s an eclipse. Everyone is aware of eclipses are prime ingredients in Top Archaeology. You can raid a tomb within the morning, you possibly can raid a tomb at night time. But raid one throughout an eclipse and also you’ll discover some correct mysteries.
Here’s what we all know:
“Experience Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider.”
That’s lower than I anticipated. So right here’s some hypothesis:
1) The sport will comprise not less than 4 tombs.
2) Some locals will get caught up in Lara’s efforts to retrieve/destroy an artifact in no matter nook of the world she falls out of a airplane into this time round. Lara will befriend them however when a mercenary organisation units hearth to their properties and siblings, she’ll toddle off to change into the Tomb Raider whereas they sit and ponder the wreckage of their lives.
3) The bodycount shall be within the 1000’s.
4) Lara’s shadow is an precise participant character and your entire sport might be performed cooperatively, with some very intelligent light-based puzzles requiring the shadow and Lara to work collectively as they make their approach throughout large rooms stuffed with traps and treasure.
5) You’ll get a grenade launcher about two-thirds of the best way via.
If all of these issues don’t transform true, I’ll retreat into my very own tomb and wait till any individual retrieves me and places me in a museum. We’ll discover out extra on April 27th, when Square Enix promise a full reveal. There’s a countdown for that, in case you don’t personal a calendar, and the positioning additionally says there’s a puzzle approaching Monday at 9am PDT. Enjoy that, shadow followers.
