Prior to its release on November 10, Square Enix's Rise of the Tomb Raider is already hitting the pre-order sites as different retailers have equipped some extra goods with the physical game into different editions and bundles. Furthermore, a recently released video offered a sneak peek of its gameplay.
Square Enix recently revealed an unboxing video of the Rise of the Tomb Raider Collector's Edition. Featured in the video is Crystal Dynamics Community Manager and die-hard Tomb Raider fan, Meagan Marie, along with Art Director Brenoch Adams. They revealed the contents of the fancy-looking box which appeared to look like a wooden crate. The box is filled with shredded paper serving as packing material which is made to look like straw, as reviewed by VG 24/7. The bulk's contents include the physical copy of the game itself, an exclusive steel case bearing an artifact symbol, a replica of Lara Croft's in-game journal, a replica of Lara's Jade Necklace, and a 12-inch statue of Lara depicting her searching for answers on her first tomb raiding expedition. However, the Collector's Edition might be sold out before its release, so it is advisable to check it out at North American Square Enix stores.
