If you are looking forward to the launch of the new Tomb Raider reboot arriving next month, you might be interested in this new trailer which has been released by developer Crystal Dynamics.
The new gameplay trailer to be released by the game’s developers allows you to whet your appetite with 11 minutes of gameplay footage, showing a glimpse of what you can expect from the game once it arrives in stores and online.
Exploring Lara Croft’s Origin Story
“Tomb Raider explores the origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor. Setting out to ‘make [her] mark’, Lara travels on the ship Endurance commanded by Conrad Roth. It is hit by a violent storm and split in two. She and many other survivors are stranded on an isolated tropical island in the Dragon’s Triangle. Lara has to find food and water to survive, fighting off the more dangerous animal inhabitants and trying to trace the other survivors. But a darker threat awaits as she is forced to harden herself against killing people in order to fight a group of malevolent mercenaries who seek to kill her and her companions.”
The narrative of this reboot delves deeply into Lara’s transformation. Unlike previous iterations where Lara is already a seasoned adventurer, this game focuses on her initial struggles and the psychological and physical challenges she faces. The island itself is a character, filled with treacherous landscapes, hidden secrets, and a history that Lara must uncover to survive. The developers have emphasized creating a more realistic and gritty experience, making players feel every fall, every wound, and every moment of desperation.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
The gameplay mechanics have been overhauled to provide a more immersive experience. Players will need to use survival instincts to navigate the island, solve puzzles, and combat enemies. The crafting system allows Lara to create weapons and tools from the resources she gathers, adding a layer of strategy to the game. The combat system is also more dynamic, requiring players to think on their feet and use the environment to their advantage.
The game also introduces a skill tree, allowing players to customize Lara’s abilities to suit their playstyle. Whether you prefer stealth, combat, or exploration, there are skills that will enhance your experience. The developers have also included a variety of side missions and collectibles that add depth to the story and provide additional challenges.
The latest Tomb Raider reboot game will be officially arriving on 5th March for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Enjoy!
The anticipation for this game is palpable, as it promises to deliver a fresh take on a beloved franchise. Fans of the series and newcomers alike will find something to enjoy in this meticulously crafted adventure. The combination of a compelling story, innovative gameplay mechanics, and stunning visuals makes this one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.
