Shadow of the Tomb Raider gameplay trailer revealed

E3 2018: Shadow of the Tomb Raider new gameplay trailer revealed

During Square Enix’s E3 2018 press conference the company unveiled some brand new Shadow of the Tomb Raider gameplay.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider game director David Bisson, of studio Edios Montreal, described this gameplay as Lara “becoming one with the jungle.” He also mentioned the game would have new elements, like grappling hooks and wall running, as well as “full 360-degree swimming,” which likely will have Lara exploring underwater environments.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s reveal at the end of April gave us some idea of Lara Croft’s storyline going forward, as the first demo had her exploring a Mayan temple in a village in Mexico, facing off against her recurring nemesis, the militarized, global-domination-seeking group Trinity.

Aside from the darker tone, there’s also more of a focus on stealth and more sophisticated traversal, including fully-fledged swimming.

The game launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Sept. 14 2018. We’ll have additional information about the game through E3.
