‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ New Trailer: ‘Guerilla Combat’ Video Shows Off Lara’s Fighting Options
By now, everyone should know that Lara Croft is a fighter. A new "Woman Vs. Wild" video titled "Guerilla Combat" further highlights the adventurer's knack for survival in the upcoming "Rise of the Tomb Raider."
The second video in the three-part "Woman Vs. Wild" series showed the protagonist's capabilities in battle as the narration said, "Harsh environments and deadly predators aren't the only challenges Lara will face on her journey to find the lost city of Kitezh. Trinity forces have occupied the region and they're both well-equipped and well-armed, sporting high-tech weapons, advanced armor and a willingness to kill anyone standing between them and the secret of immortality."
The video explained how Lara is not a trained soldier and players can choose a stealthy approach without much violence or lethal encounters. However the narrator pointed out, "Sometimes, combat is unavoidable."
Lara will be able to prove her combat skills and craftiness in "Rise of the Tomb Raider" as she takes on the Trinity soldiers who are racing her to Kitezh. The video highlighted the game's capabilities to suit the player controlling Lara as different playing styles are provided in the action adventure game.
A straight-forward "guns ablazing" attack is possible, but can deplete ammunition quickly, so each situation must be assessed to determine the most efficient fighting style to use. The environment, weapons and skills combine to give Lara the edge in battle against the more experienced Trinity assassins. She can also gain advantage with her resourcefulness by scavenging for materials to use in makeshift weapons like poison, fire, explosive arrows, Molotov cocktails, radio bombs and grenades.
The previous "Woman Vs. Wild" video was titled "Harsh Environments," as previously reported by Latin Post, while the next will focus on the deadly tombs that can be explored in the upcoming game.
The "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will go up against the popular "Fallout 4" as the two games share a release date, but Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg brushed off the competition saying that "Fallout 4" is not a direct competitor of their game.
"We're first party so we know our dates are, most teams pick their dates not knowing what else is going to be there," he told Kinda Funny Games. "And once you know, then would you rather launch against 'Call of Duty', 'Star Wars' or 'Fallout'? So you just got to launch and stick with the date and feel confident that the game still stand up and we believe it will. It's a fantastic title."
"Rise of the Tomb Raider" for Xbox One and Xbox 360 is slated for release on Nov. 10. The version for both PlayStation 4 and PC will be launched in 2016.
