Shadow of The Tomb Raider’s Latest DLC is Out

Shadow of The Tomb Raider’s Latest DLC is Out

, , , , , , 0

The trilogy isn’t completely over….Lara suits up for one more mission in “The Grand Caiman,” the latest DLC chapter to be released for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Back in San Juan, a fierce and evil deity has awoken and threatens the entire community with destruction. Blame Trinity again — they just can’t leave these old haunted crypts alone. Lara has to fix the mess by dodging Trinity’s bullets, hopping over hot lava chasms, and pushing blocks to make a giant crocodile head move. Just an average day for Lady Croft. The DLC not only comes with a new temple to explore but a new outfit for Lara made of reptile hide. It heightens resistance against projectiles and boosts XP gained from assault kills. You’ll also get the Whispering Scourge (a suppressed shotgun) plus the Volcano skill which teaches Lara how to create ammo that explodes on impact! It would be pretty amazing if everything else wasn’t on fire. Finally, all tombs from the main campaign are all now playable

Tomb Raider Legends: The Board Game

Tomb Raider Legends: The Board Game

Lara Croft has her sights set on the treasures of the tabletop market! Square Enix revealed Tomb Raider Legends: The Board Game today. Despite its title, the RPG isn’t based on the Tomb Raider Legends video game…in fact, it uses a completely different logo on its box, which no actual Tomb Raider game has ever sported. Lara isn’t on the cover either, making the box appear bootleg. It’s from Square though, we swear. “Brought to you by the makers of FINAL FANTASY® Trading Card Game, in Tomb Raider® Legends: The Board Game, Lara Croft embarks on an unknown journey in search of a hidden artifact and faces the biggest threat of all, herself!” What Square DOESN’T tell you is how, exactly, you’re supposed to play. The description is as follows: “Explore ruins or see off threats while using your wits, arsenal and skills to prove that you, and you alone, are the Lara Croft®.” Well, there are four multicolored versions of Lara Croft(®) here, along with dice, cards, a Rulebook,

The review embargo has been lifted on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and critics love it. There’s just one problem, and it’s a problem that’s been building with Lara’s recent titles of late…but it’s really come to a head here. As we know by now, Square’s “realistic” Tomb Raider trilogy, started in 2013, goes out of its way to ground Lara Croft in a far less fanciful world. No hot pants, no dry British one-liners, no wild monsters — just plain ol’ people and animals. You can’t get an injury and just shake it off. And you will never, ever, meet a living dinosaur or tangle with a demi-god. With Shadow of the Tomb Raider, developer Crystal Dynamics may have gone too far with this whole “realism” thing. A major theme of the game’s story are the moral questions brought up by what Lara’s doing — breaking into sealed tombs and swiping the stuff inside, possibly against the wishes of whoever put it there. Shadow goes far enough to accuse

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider: The Big Trailer

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider: The Big Trailer

, , , , , , 0

As Square promised, the first BIG trailer for Shadow of the Tomb Raider landed today! It contains no gameplay footage, but it establishes the theme and hints at what the game will generally be like when we get it this fall. This video doesn’t subvert many expectations. We guessed this game would be closing out Square’s current Tomb Raider trilogy. We figured it would be darker than the previous two games because that’s usually how it goes (see Tomb Raider Underworld). We even knew the title something like two years ago (thanks to a leak). What the trailer DOES give us that’s new is something we feared we’d never see again — moments of Lara dominating a fight and kicking serious ass! It’s such a delight to see these Thuggee warriors (or whoever they are) look around and have no idea what’s going on while Lara leaps around the shadows like a ninja, dispatching them one by one. It feels like coming home. How I missed her competence. This lasts

Square Leaks Release Date For New Tomb Raider Game By Accident

Square Leaks Release Date For New Tomb Raider Game By Accident

Tomorrow, Square-Enix will confirm the title of their next Lara-centric game WILL be “Shadow of the Tomb Raider.” They’ll announce that it will be released within 2018. They’ll reveal that it is NOT an XBox exclusive like the second game was. So all we have to do is wait until tomorrow, and we’ll know…..err, what we know now. Wait, WHY do we know all this? We know thanks to a little coding faux pax from Square. Whoever built the latest version of their Tomb Raider webpage, which is currently counting down to tomorrow’s big reveal, mistakenly included all the information it’s about to display within the HTML code. Poke around and you can find sentences like “Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the climactic finale of Lara’s origin story. Available September 14 2018.” Popgeeks didn’t discover this, the Internet did in general (the original discovery is believed to have come from Twitter, but no one is certain who was first). The timing makes sense — Square’s big fat Tomb Raider

The New Tomb Raider Trailer is Here

The New Tomb Raider Trailer is Here

Before Warner Bros. released the latest Tomb Raider trailer, we had reason to suspect the new movie was based on Square Enix’s 2013 reboot game. Now that we’ve seen the trailer….yup, that certainly appears to be the case. There was reason to doubt it before. Trailer #1 did some fancy editing to preserve the image of the cool line-quipping Lara Croft everyone is familiar with. This cut of the film definitely implies we’re dealing with a young, inexperienced Lara (just like in the game) who’s chasing a mystery uncovered by her dead father (just like in the game) and the search takes her to a mysterious island where she winds up marooned (just like in the game) and she plummets into a river and smacks her body against a large log (you get the idea). So sure enough, she discovers a sinister army is trying to locate some kind of ancient tomb so they can raid the item inside and cause “global genocide.” If there’s any tombs to be raided

Sounds like Square Enix is about ready to reveal the next game in the Tomb Raider series. The company sent out a tweet this morning pre-announcing their announcement, which from the sounds of things we may not actually get immediately. The tweet was an image composed entirely of text, so rather than embed it, we’ve reposted the statement…. Square Enix is excited to share some big news with you next year. Honestly, we wish we could share it with you now, but we’re taking a new approach this time. A new Tomb Raider game is coming. Driven by our goal of putting our fans first, we want you to know that it won’t be very long between the official reveal and when you can play. Our journey together will begin with a major event in 2018. We simply can’t wait to take you on Lara Croft’s defining adventure. Square has released two mainline Tomb Raider games ever since the property became theirs (in addition to a few spinoffs). We knew

The First Tomb Raider Trailer Is Here

It’s finally here, and ain’t it purty: our first two minute-long look at the new Tomb Raider movie. Actress Alicia Vikander has officially inherited the heiress from Angelina Jolie and Warner Bros is bringing us on her first adventure. Those who have played the self-titled reboot from a few years ago will recognize quite a few things in this trailer, from the same villains to some of the same scenarios and even a couple of the same death-defying jumps (we’re assuming Lara won’t become impaled on a branch this time). And those who were afraid Lara would be reduced to a “realistic” whimpering, groaning, suffering husk can rest easy: we see a lot of the original Lara in Vikander’s protrayal here. The real test will be if Vikander can balance Lara’s classic cockiness with enough vulnerability to make viewers empathize with her. We know Ms. Croft is badass enough to save the world, but for the movie to connect, we need to believe there’s a chance she won’t. Despite all

The new Tomb Raider movie is less than a year away now and EW sat down with actress Alicia Vikander, the new Lara Croft, as she discussed the shorts she’s fitting into and the responsibility that goes with it. For Vikander, taking on the role of an action heroine is a first for her — and the fulfillment of a career goal. “I have mostly done dramas and indie films in my career but I don’t know how many times I’ve watched big adventure films like Indiana Jones or The Mummy. I love to get embraced in all those big journeys and to do an action role has always been a child’s dream of mine.” It was a dream that felt close to impossible until recently. “I went to the cinema and saw Wonder Woman the other day. It’s a mixture of joy and sadness pouring over me, as I was thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I haven’t seen women onscreen like that.’ And I wondered how many stories there have

The new Tomb Raider movie isn’t set to come out for another year, but we have our first glimpses at what it’ll look like. This morning GQ Magazine published the first-ever screenshots of Alicia Vikander in the role of Lara Croft. The pics ran alongside an interview with Tomb Raider’s director, a man literally named “Roar.” Roar said this new movie obviously takes heavy inspiration from Square-Enix’s grounded 2013 reboot of the series (and its 2015 sequel) but will also contain a couple new spins. We drew a lot of inspiration and reference from the game and the entire Tomb Raider canon to develop our world, and I believe fans will recognize that. At the same time, this is a completely different theatrical approach to Lara Croft that will offer something new in the origin and development of the character. It’s a story that not only highlights her incredible physical accomplishments but delves deeper into her humanity. Movies based on video games have a bad reputation. Roar swears he’s not

Walton Goggins (The Shield, Justified) has announced he’s joining the cast of Hollywood’s next Tomb Raider film — which will be a reboot that stars Alicia Vikander as the iconic Lara Croft. If you can’t tell by the photo, he’s going to be the bad guy — a rival raider who tries to trip Lara up. Some people just have a mug for villainous roles. Goggins announced his inclusion in the film to his Instagram followers, by tweeting his copy of the script under a fedora off-camera. Oh, what have you done, you fool? You’ve tweeted a script image with a front page of such thin stock that we can see the first page of the movie’s script below it! Not with the naked eye, but with assistance. Booting up Photoshop: Is it clearer now? Here’s the bits we can make out….. DAY ….of loud BREATHING. (unintelliglble)… …it. Like someone running for her life. So….. ….when we OPEN ON: ….LOTT (21) to a boxing ring. …surface is sweat-stained. Lara spars

Is “Shadow Of The Tomb Raider” The Title Of Lara’s Next Adventure?

Is “Shadow Of The Tomb Raider” The Title Of Lara’s Next Adventure?

, , , , 0

Word on the street is that we have a title for the third Lara Croft game to be produced under the Square-Enix umbrella: “Shadow of the Tomb Raider.” And we know this because some fool openly worked on a document bearing the mysterious title on a crowded Montreal subway. Standing near him was the Reddit user who took a few snapshots and posted them to the site, with commentary. “The page he was on talked about visuals,” the main said to Kotaku. “I’m from Montreal, QC. I was going downtown for work and I took a quick snap. I really would love to say more but other than the title, the rest was blurry from where I was.” The story checks out so far: we know Lara’s development studio, Eidos, has a branch in Quebec where the next Tomb Raider is reportedly being developed. And this just confirms it. It seems to be a bad place for keeping secrets, or at least for employing people who can be counted on
