‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider’ Trailer: Lara versus the Mayan Apocalypse, no big deal

Shadow of the Tomb Raider will show us a new side of Lara Croft in her rebooted role — going from a silent killer in the jungle to a single-minded enemy of Trinity, the evil organization that killed her father. Now, we’ll find out just how far Lara is willing to go to achieve her ambitions.

The Eidos Montreal and Square Enix game debuts on consoles and the PC on September 14, and it will be on display next week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. I love the strong character that the Tomb Raider developers have been creating, and I’ll never get tired of seeing Lara’s many faces.

Gone is the innocent Lara from the rebooted Tomb Raider in 2013. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of archaeology and mythology, but she has also learned to be a cold-blooded killer when facing the evils of Trinity.
