There’s a host of new screenshots of Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix’s upcoming action game Rise of the Tomb Raider, which you can see below.
The screenshots appeared on AGB today, without any indication as to where they actually came from or what publication they were intended for.
The screenshots showcase the snowcapped environments of the Siberian tundra, but the game’s developer claims that not all of the game will look like that.
In contrast to the initial announce trailer’s archer-like hood, Lara dressed up tightly for Siberia, with what may be a signature red fur coat. There is one screenshot of her eschewing the coat and mountain climbing equipment, for her more familiar tank top. In that one shot, she seems to have found a sunny oasis of ruins, perhaps near the very top of the isolated peaks?
Lara will also have a lot to do in the snow crusted landscapes of Siberia, including explore an abandoned town, ascend the treacherous mountains, contend with avalanches and wildlife, and more.
And yes, it’s hard to ignore that picture of Lara facing a bear head-on. One wonders if Lara will be facing a lot of wildlife in the game, and if she will be playing big game hunter on the side. It is certainly a good place to find some of the most dangerous predators in the world, including wolves, tigers and leopards. There’s also no lack of animals to hunt for food, including native fish, birds, elk, moose, and squirrel.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is set for release as a Microsoft Xbox One exclusive title, at least for the time being.
Anyway, check them out below.
