Fans of the series have a lot to look forward to in the third instalment of the beloved series. At the event, the Head of Studio at Eidos-Montréal, David Anfossi, said, "Shadow of the Tomb Raider will challenge Lara Croft in new and unexpected ways. Our team has created a diverse set of skills, combat techniques and equipment for players to master, and they’ll certainly need them if they hope to survive the deadly jungle environments and tombs."

Those who played the hour long demo on April 26th have said that the tombs that Croft will face will be varied and diverse, including underwater tombs as well as more traditional ones for players to explore outside of the main plot of the game.
