Lara Croft is here to stay

Celebrate the release of Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration with this cool new launch trailer!


Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will include the following:

• Award-winning Rise of the Tomb Raider
• Brutal new “Extreme Survivor” difficulty mode (no checkpoints)
• “Blood Ties” & “Lara’s Nightmare” premium DLC
• Co-op support for “Endurance Mode”, challenging players to survive extreme conditions with a friend
• Re-envisioned cold-weather outfit and weapon for Lara inspired by Tomb Raider III
• Classic Lara card pack which will allow fans to play “Expedition Modes” using one of several classic Lara models
• All existing DLC including “Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch” and “Cold Darkness Awakened”, 12 outfits, 7 weapons, 35 Expedition Cards, and more
• Support for PlayStation VR that challenges players to unlock the mysteries of Croft Manor in first person

“Blood Ties” is new premium DLC, and will allow players to explore Croft Manor in the main story mode, then defend it against a zombie invasion in “Lara’s Nightmare.” When Lara’s uncle contests ownership of the Manor, Lara must explore the estate to find proof that she is the rightful heir, or lose her birthright and father’s secrets for good. Players can then test their zombie-killing skills in the replayable “Lara’s Nightmare” mode: a haunted Croft Manor where players have new challenges and must rid the Manor of an evil presence.

In addition, for the first time in a Tomb Raider game, a new online co-op expansion to “Endurance Mode” lets fans raid tombs in a brutal wilderness together. Two players must team up to survive the harsh elements by day, as well as lethal threats from enemies by night. Fire takes fuel, food restores health, and every resource must be hunted, collected, or crafted. Battle to the top of the leaderboards, as others try to beat your longest survival run.

After release on Xbox One last year Rise of the Tomb Raider is available on PS4 from October 11.

Here's some disappointing news, the release of 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided' has been pushed back to August 23rd, 2016. Eidos Montreal confirmed the delay today moving the highly anticipated videogame back six months from the original February release. 'Makind Divided' is the sequel to the 2011 hit 'Human Revolution' which revitalised the sleeping franchise that began with the original 'Deus Ex' in 2001. 

Studio head David Anfossi attributes the delay to making sure the game is up to the quality we expect, he writes in a blog post:

“it will require more time in tuning, iterations, and refinement to meet our high standards.”

The uber-awesome dystopian cyberpunk series is something I'm a big fan of and the reboots new protagonist Adam Jensen is a great mix of Solid Snake and Robocop with a dash of Christian Bale's Batman thrown in for good measure. The games provide varied stealth and action gameplay set in an immersive futuristic landscape that's just the right shade of Blade Runner. Chocie plays a huge part as well and you'll be mulling over your in-game decisions long after the credits roll. While the delay is frustrating, it's sure to be worth it and hey the waiting is half the fun right? We're looking forward to following all the updates on the title and we'll keep you in the loop right here at Cape and Cowl.
