While Shadow of the Tomb Raider had been confirmed long ago, Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal had finally released the first trailer for the finally of the new Tomb Raider trilogy over the weekend and it did not disappoint.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider will act as a continuation of 2013 remake of the franchise and its stellar sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and follows Lara Croft (voiced once again by Camilla Luddington) as she takes on a deadly jungle, terrifying tombs and race to stop a Mayan apocalypse from happening.
“Thanks to their incredible expertise, knowledge of the franchise and outstanding creativity, Eidos-Montréal, in collaboration with Crystal Dynamics, is delivering a powerful experience with Shadow of the Tomb Raider,” said Yosuke Matsuda, president and representative director of Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. “Shadow of the Tomb Raider will take the series to new heights and Lara Croft to new depths.”
“Shadow of the Tomb Raider will challenge Lara Croft in new and unexpected ways,” said David Anfossi, Head of Studio at Eidos-Montréal. “Our team has created a diverse set of skills, combat techniques and equipment for players to master, and they’ll certainly need them if they hope to survive the deadly jungle environments and tombs.”
Pre-orders for Shadow of the Tomb Raider is available now, and the game will be released simultaneously on Xbox One, PC, and PS4 on September 14th 2018. We expect that we’ll likely see more of the game at E3 next month.
