Now, maintain this between us – quiet, alright? Just between you and me, I believe there is likely to be a brand new Tomb Raider sport within the works. I additionally assume that it is likely to be referred to as Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and that it is likely to be launched this September, and that it’ll characteristic scenes lots just like the completely-unrelated-we-assure-you picture you see above.
I’ve all these wild hunches as a result of Square Enix’s PR appears to have sprung all the leaks, spilling juicy sport data in all places as much as and together with shakey-cam footage of the teaser trailer, together with the discharge date. So a lot for a dramatic reveal, eh?
The newest and most amusing of all these revelations comes direct from the official Tomb Raider web site, which presently teases an official launch of knowledge deliberate for someday tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately, a fast peek on the source-code of the web page (solely a right-click away in Chrome) reveals considerably extra element, together with the precise day of launch, together with a point out that that is to be the tip of Lara’s ‘origin story’ trilogy of video games.
This isn’t the primary case that info has leaked out, both. We technically knew this title a protracted whereas in the past – back in 2016, even (because of Kotaku) – after somebody spied a developer’s laptop computer with confidential supplies on display throughout a subway commute. Oops.
Hawk-eyed Twitter gremlin @Nibellion even managed to dig up some video footage from a pre-announcement press occasion in Montreal, in addition to his ideas on this cavalcade of leakiness:

The solely actual shock right here, in the event you may even name it that, is that Crystal Dynamics – builders of the earlier two Tomb Raider video games – aren’t dealing with improvement of this one. Instead, Eidos Montreal (creators of the New Deus Ex video games) are heading up the mission, however as long as they simply proceed aping the Uncharted sequence, there’s not a lot you are able to do incorrect with the design of a sport like this.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider will likely be launching on September 14th, however don’t inform them that you simply noticed it right here, okay?
