Square Enix has announced that the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Free Trial will go live on the Windows via Steam later today. According to the press release, players will experience the beginning of Lara Croft’s latest adventure as they journey to Cozumel, Mexico in the midst of The Day of the Dead celebrations, where Lara and her trusted friend Jonah must race against Trinity to find a hidden tomb.
As you may have guessed, and after completing the trial, those who purchase Shadow of the Tomb Raider will resume right where they left off, keeping all of their progress and unlocks.
In order to celebrate this announcement, Square Enix has also released a new trailer dedicated to the game’s free trial that you can find below.
Have fun!

new tags look really bad with green on orange
Already? I smell a flop….
A bit late Square Enix https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ca2ce993994ee12e5c3de70496b81ebbf1fe34029b2e7fee0945717716fc80fa.png
become the anita sarkeesian.. listen more to people who don’t buy your games. i’m glad that it flopped
she was involved in this? it seems like even core gameplay becomes dog shet whatever she touches.
Well, if you look at the season pas on one month they will hold an event at a feminist conference.
shooting is just awful, i don’t know who this game was marketed for.
i’ve seen games from 90s with better and more detailed and satisfying shooting mechanic than this game.
Game sold well huh?
I played this one, and while I thought it was the most dull out of the trilogy, it is still worth a play through if the price is right.
The visuals and acting are both very good, but the story really never takes off and most of the RPG elements don’t seem to have much of a real impact on the game. Not to mention, the visual style of the location is kind of overdone.
They need to reboot this and make it more fun, maybe slightly cartoonish graphics and more bombastic and ridiculous gunplay. This last Tomb Raider game was DULL.
Still more entertaining (especially the actual tomb raiding) than every minimal content, headless chicken, moron attracting, mp live service built to sell microtransactions. Yes like every game it could be “better” and may not hold up to its predecessors, but until gamers hold AAA to the same level of standards as we do with singleplayer, this will do for me. For some odd reason crappy games are acceptable if they are “fun with friends.” But if a singleplayer game is not 10/10 every time then it is viewed as trash.
Clearly another smashing success, at the hands of SquareEnix management.
