Shadow of the Tomb Raider Announcement

2012 called, they want their apocalypse back.

The remastered Tomb Raider series comes to an end September 14th with Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

“Shadow of the Tomb Raider will challenge Lara Croft in new and unexpected ways. 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.” – David Anfossi, Head of Studio at Eidos-Montréal.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, created by seasoned veterans from Eidos-Montréal (in collab with Crystal Dynamics), sets Lara on her ultimate journey – to save the world from a Mayan Apocalypse. It sounds incredibly grandiose but this grisly entry in the series will finally see Lara becoming the destined Tomb Raider.

“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, Shadow of the Tomb Raider will take the series to new heights and Lara Croft to new depths.” – Yosuke Matsuda, president and representative director of Square Enix Holdings Co.

Whilst Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the final entry in this rebooted origin series I’d expect we’ll be seeing more of her in the future.

Pre-orders are now open for Shadow of the Tomb Raider with GAME offering an exclusive SteelBook edition. Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
