Shadow of The Tomb Raider Gets New 'Deadly Tombs' Trailer

Publisher Square Enix and developer Eidos Montreal have released another brand-new Shadow of the Tomb Raider trailer, this time showcasing the game's "deadly tombs."

As you would expect from a trailer titled "deadly tombs," the new piece of media is strictly a showcase, a sneak-peek into the tombs players will be exploring and trying to survive when they go on Lara's latest adventure this fall.

Like previous trailers the pair have released in this mold, this new one is quite short (a mere 40 seconds long). This is because the trailer isn't a trailer for the whole game, just a specific component of the game, in this case its tombs. In other words, there aren't the normal bells and whistles you would expect from a Shadow of the Tomb Raider trailer, which is to say cinematic set-pieces and thoughtful direction. It's meant to show tombs. And it does that well, or well enough I should say, because most of the trailer is just Lara walking through a variety of tombs with little to no action, and absolutely no cinematic or production flair. But it gets the job done.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is poised to release on September 14 via the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the game, click here. Or for a simple overview, keep scrolling:
