Rise of the Tomb Raider makes another exquisite reveal which is in time for the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo next week. This would be none other than the cinematic trailer for Lara Croft's next title, and while not much details on the gameplay were revealed, the plot proved to be exciting and worth hearing more about come Microsoft's press conference in the said gaming event.
The latest trailer for Rise of the Tomb Raider is entitled "Aim Greater." One report took note of the details in the preview, where Lara Croft was venturing through strong wind and snow. Later on, she finds herself seeing a tomb, opening the narration on how taking risks would really pay off. Interestingly, Amelia Earhart was acknowledged in the trailer as a means to parallel the courage Lara Croft is taking on her journey.
While "Aim Greater" did not shed light on what the gameplay will be like, this aspect of the game is something that Microsoft promised in E3 2015. The video was just to increase their appetite in terms of the storyline.
In relation to this, writer Rhianna Pratchett said in a report, "Whether it's the Holy Grail, The Tree of Life, or eating five-a-day, living beyond our years is one of humanity's eternal questions... However, what particularly excited me about this project was helping guide Lara on the next stage of her journey. She's done things that she didn't think she was capable of - both good and bad."
Fans would be pleased to know that this is not the only leak that Crystal Dynamics and Microsoft had to offer recently. The two also launched a game box art on Xbox Wire which displayed Lara Croft with a flare in hand, standing beside the secret tomb - the same tomb which was shown in the trailer.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is the next in the series since the last release of Tomb Raider in 2013. This time, Lara Croft will pave the land in Siberia amidst the city of Kitezh. The launch date of Crystal Dynamics' title is set on holiday of 2015. Fans should note that this will be exclusive for both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One consoles.
