Man, everything about the new Tomb Raider game has been leaked prior to its official reveal. Earlier today we got the first screenshots and cinematic trailer, and below you can find the first details that were revealed by a Spanish magazine.
According to the article, Jonah will return in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and will try to lead Lara on the right path by advising Lara to save people. The game will feature numerous puzzles, however they will not be more complex than what was featured in the previous games. Instead, they are meant to be more epic, terrifying and deadly.
The game is being developed by EIDOS Montreal and Crystal Dynamics and more games are planned after this third part in the new Tomb Raider trilogy. However, classic Lara will not
return. Instead, these new games will feature independent adventures of the Lara we have now.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider promises to feature the best action scenes of the whole trilogy, as well as weapons that will be focused on stealth. The mainvillain of the game will be Doctor Dominguez and the game begins in Cozumel (Mexico) where Trinity and Lara look for an ancestral key.
The game will last around 13-15 hours (without the side missions) and the hunting and the equipment will be more important this time around. The main tombs will be very important, will be “more classic,” and will be deadlier than before.
Players won’t be able to drive vehicles but they will be able to swim and dive. Players can also use their rope to go up and down walls, run through them, and perform longer jumps.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be.

“However, classic Lara will not

absolutely disgusting. im tired of all this sjw crap. also give lara her boobies back.
Boobies did not harm the previous games from having difficult tombs, the problem with this recipe for game design is that they make games as scripted and handholding as possible in order to provide what you claim you want “deeper story”
In this day and age, deep story = tons of cutscenes triggered every minute.
There’s more SJW pandering in the two most recent TR games than the change in character model alone.
You see sjw pandering everywhere, smh.
Factually incorrect. smh, indeed.
Didnt notice anything in rise of the tomb raider, The press made it sound like a feminist masterpiece but the truth is lara was a guest in her own game, she took the backseat to the byzantine story of the game.
with big boobs she cant fit in the random holes she must pass in the quick time events 😛
That’s the least likely to happen. This has been turned into another heavily scripted Cinematic Narrative Experience™ that runs largely on autopilot, you can easily sleepwalk through the previous two games.
TO BE FAIR the second game had less handholding and cinematic stuff less qte, more sidequests
Uncharted Raider, female mass killer edition. Rise of the Tomb Raider was all right but I think they turned her into a mass killier instead of a Tomb Raider, don’t mind protecting herself but like Nathan Drake seems to have mass killing special skills, i’d prefer less of that and more animals, traps or mythic enemy types. The other people going for the same treasure as you and trying to kill you for it is overused now in both games. espeically the eternal life or pirates treasure narratives.
Fighting mythical creature would make it unrealistic,since this game aim for realism…hell,even shorts and lara big boobs is unrealistic for them
THX it’s OnnA 🙂

So its not a trilogy and they will keep making games like this which wont change to be like the old ones but more of the same.
Well, not impressed but i do like me the action scenes in the last game and uncharted 4, pretty useful in a world of open world collecthatons.
how not to promote games jpeg.

It was expected and this is coming from someone who is a huge fan of classic Lara. They’re clearly trying to treat it like it’s something of the past, that it won’t hold up with today’s audience. Everything needs to be dark and gritty these days it’s rather bland to care a lot about what’s coming from AAA games.
I genuinely think the classic Lara games, including Legend, Anniversary and Underworld, had so much to make it stand out from other titles. The modern just seems too generic for me, lacks the likable personality, the iconic look and gear she carries. I even think the music was so much better in the past games. Although admittedly I haven’t heard much from the rebooted series. Suppose there’s not much one can do and just move on. At least some fans are trying their best to bring back the classic games with a modernised look whilst keeping it faithful.
is the designed approved by anita?
Because Anita took a trip to treyarch and they added female characters, because she took a trip to sledgehammer and they added female black nazis in mp, because she took a trip to bioware and we got mass effect andromeda. BTW mirrors edge catalyst was approved by her.
GOTY edition for me just like any other games 🙂
when everything is OFFICIALLY revealed but you keep calling it leaks
Not before this article was posted…
That music is horrible!
doesnt suit the trailer at all tbh
I called it from the previous headline. I knew this wasn’t going to be the last game with this Lara. It’s making them so much money that they obviously won’t end it after the third part. Seeing as it’s more successful than the classic Lara they’re going to keep the rebooted franchise going.
Usually I’m all for change in many franchises, it’s the only way to keep something fresh, but the changes made to Lara for me was too drastic that it’s not even remotely the same character from the classic games. You could give her the same outfits and hairstyle from the old games and make her physique more in-line with the classic and it still wouldn’t be the same, considering how much of everything else changed.
To be honest I wonder how the creators of the old games feel about all the changes done to Lara Croft and her story arc. I know I wouldn’t be pleased if I created a passion project that became a worldwide phenomenon only to realise that I will no longer have complete control over it after a decade or two.
