Shadow of the Tomb Raider Gets New ‘Treacherous Traversal’ Trailer

Today, publisher Square Enix and Eidos Montreal released a brand-new Shadow of the Tomb Raider trailer showcasing the game's "treacherous traversal," and the mechanics behind how Lara survives.

As you would expect in such a trailer, there's vine swinging, mountain scaling, climbing on decaying ruins, roof slides, general grappling hook fun, and some gorgeous set pieces.

Unfortunately, the trailer is only a mere 37 seconds long, so it doesn't provide the deep dive into the game's traversal mechanics, but it does at least provide a decent look at all the different environments you'll find yourself exploring on Lara's latest adventure.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is slated to release on September 14th via the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC.

In other recent and related news, Shadow of the Tomb Raider recently went gold, and is described as being 13-15 hours long. For more information, media, and news on the game, click here.
