Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be the hardest game in the series

  • 1073

Just over two months ago, Square Enix officially announced the Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the third most recent version of Lara Croft. Through the previous two sequels, the British archeologist has consistently fought with a vortex of fears and suspicions, and finally gave us knowledge of how far someone is willing to go to save their loved ones or sacrifice their own reputation and memory to their closest for the benefit of the entire community.

Given that Lara has gained a lot of experience in her merciless adventures and sharpened her own abilities, we would expect her job as a grave robber to become easier, but game director of the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider says this will be the hardest part of this reboot series.

In short, in an interview for the British EDGE gaming magazine Daniel Chayer-Bisson said:

This will be, I would say, the most difficult Tomb Raider of all the Tomb Raiders. That is important because this is a more experienced Lara. This is going to be bigger, it’s going to be harder, and that tomb shows the first ever puzzle you’ll solve and it’s very difficult.

It seems that Shadow of the Tomb Raider will not hold our hand while crossing the street, or it will not just a little bit easy up our unenviable job of grave robbing, solving puzzles and outsmarting enemies to save the whole world from the Mayan apocalypse.

"We get to see Lara in conflict with herself. We also have an antagonist who could be a protagonist in his own story – his motivations are just as compelling as hers. It’s going to give players a lot to think about, and question her motives as much as she does, perhaps. I think that’s something that we can provide in this kind of game that is much harder to access in a multiplayer game", concluded Chayer-Bisson.
