Would you consider it, they’re solely making one other Tomb Raider

I do know! Another sequel to a ludicrously long-running and profitable recreation franchise! What surprises this life holds.

Unfortunately, “a new Tomb Raider” is sort of actually all writer Square Enix are saying proper now, outdoors of promising we’ll hear extra quickly. Still, it’s good to have forgone conclusions confirmed, innit?

A recreation allegedly named ‘Shadow Of The Tomb Raider’ was leaked last year. Is this the identical factor? WIll it have that title? Who is aware of? Not me, cos Squenix ain’t saying a lot. Here’s as we speak’s Squenix ‘reveal’ in full:

Does ‘major event’ imply large publicity stunt, that they’ll reveal the sport at a present like E3, and even that the primary look will accompany the upcoming film Tomb Raider vs The Neck Of Eternity, due in March? Y’know what, I’m going to put my wager on the latter.

I’ve appreciated the final couple of Tomb Raiders, significantly the survival elements and heightened puzzle-tomb focus of Rise Of The Tomb Raider, however I pray to God the dour storytelling will get a shot within the arm this time round. Lara’s an amazing character who must do greater than grunt, frown, swear unconvincingly and speak about her dad.

Also: ‘defining adventure’ – nonetheless sounds a bit originy, doesn’t it? Really hoped we had been previous that already.
