Lara Croft is larger and more daring in the soon-to-be-released Rise of the Tomb Raider. Lara's skills is featured in the Woman vs Wild video published by Microsoft. Also, the game developer is hopeful that the game can endure with other games released on the same date.

Microsoft Studios publicized another installment of Woman vs Wild trailer that emphasized the guerilla warfare faculties and tools of Lara, according to GameSpot.

The site described the trailer as Lara having stealth ability but she can use the guns-blazing approach if necessary. However, game developer Crystal Dynamics cautioned that ammunition will be limited. Consequently, assessing situations to carry out strategic plans are smart ways to survive the game.

The video also featured the skills and crafting systems of the main hero, the site added. Brawler, Hunter and Survivor are the three main skill systems of Lara. It depends on the player on which individual system to be used to upgrade the character. Aside from that, players can upgrade weapons and unlock abilities as well. The crafting system allows the player to create poison, fire, explosive arrows, and also grenades.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will be released on November 10 alongside with Fallout 4. But this does not provoke alarms to Microsoft, Tech Times reported. Microsoft's head of marketing for Xbox Games Aaron Greenberg clarifies why they are pushing the plans through. Greenberg points out that production schedule is the challenge.

Techno Buffalo added that Microsoft is not worried but they admit they are releasing at a tough time of the year. Greenberg was quoted by the site saying: "The challenge with Tomb Raider is if you go a week later, you're against Star Wars: Battlefront, if you go a week earlier you're against Call of Duty: Black Ops III. You go two weeks earlier and you're against Halo 5."

Techno Buffalo also cited that according to Greenberg, Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 are not direct competitors.

Rise of the Tomb Raider hit the shelves on November 10 for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
