Square Enix has announced a newTomb Raidergame at the beginning of this year, titledShadow of the Tomb Raider. According to Square Enix,Shadow of the Tomb Raiderwill be the last chapter in Lara’s adventure that started with theTomb Raiderreboot in 2013, and promises to be “Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider” that we all love and know today.
At Square Enix’s E3 briefing today, the gameplay trailer forShadow of the Tomb Raiderhas finally been revealed, as was indicated by Square Enix during thegame reveal in April. The trailer shows Lara Croft in an exotic jungle environment, using similar combat tactics that she has been using in the last two instalments ofTomb Raider. InShadow of the Tomb Raider, it seems like Lara will be using an additional weapon for stealth kills, which is a combat knife, while also keeping weapons that she has been using in the previous games, such as her trusty bow and arrows. The gameplay trailer also shows off how Lara uses her environment and things from her surroundings, such as an oil can and fire, in order to skilfully kill her enemies.
