Shadow of the Tomb Raider will not be bound by a ridiculous period of exclusivity like its predecessor, with the new entry launching day-and-date on the PlayStation 4 from 14th September. Of course, all of this already leaked, but you can see the high-quality teaser trailer embedded below, courtesy of the official PlayStation Twitter account. This is all very different to last time, eh?
The video doesn’t exactly show a lot: we see Lara sprinting through a South American jungle, before stumbling upon some Mayan temples. This is slated to be the last part of Ms Croft’s origin story, with Eidos Montreal taking on development duties. Expect more details to be revealed in the run-up to E3 2018, on 27th April.
Update: Here's a 4K version of the reveal trailer, via YouTube:

Good. No stupid money hats. Let everyone, regardless of platform, enjoy the game.
Excellent can’t wait. Safe to say the plot revolves around an eclipse.
Word up son.worrrdd uppp. I l💛💕💚 me some lara
Excellent, A day 1 purchase, lets hope it keeps up the very high standard of the previous 2
Nice teaser trailer. Didn't play Rise of the Tomb Raider, but interested nonetheless.
Notice everything is coming out prior to Red Dead Redemption 2.
I am a big enough Tomb Raider fan to give this a shot but hope they make a more engaging story than Rise.
Definitely a Day 1 purchase for me...
it is definitely Day 1 buy one for me.. i love first one and Rise of the Tomb Raider. hopefully they better not delay it for any reason
@get2sammyb Titanfall 3 will probably get announced to come out on the same day as Red Dead 2.
Good, now if it's an excellent game people won't whine and skip it because they're entitled brats
Really hope the full reveal is in game, im glad another TR is coming but CGI trailers do nothing for me
Rubbish trailer though to be fair. Could have been from any of the last 2 games really. Just Lara falling down hills in the dark. Looking forward to seeing some game play!
@RogerRoger I was hoping for Egypt (Although, maybe we'll do a bit of globe hopping. Heck, maybe we'll even get her to the Moon one day. That'd be quite cool actually. Moon Raider.)
I'll admit, I rolled my eyes when I saw the soldier with a big gun.
@JoeBlogs huh ? French ? what you mean by that ?
@JoeBlogs oh ok sorry for swearing..
Hopefully the third game will be great, despite Eidos being the developer now instead of Crystal Dynamics.
Looking forward to playing this when it hits $25-$30 during BF 2018.
@KratosMD Yeah I suppose. Doesn't do much for me unfortunately. I appreciate it's an announcement and confirmation that a sequel is coming but it was known for ages anyway. Looking forward to more info though.
@johncalmc nope, titanfall 3 would probably release in between blops 4 and rdr 2.
I’m hyped for more TR! Day one for me too.
I’ll probably go see the movie this opening weekend too, although my expectations are more cautious for that. The game I feel more confident will be good.
It is a little close to RDR2, but thankfully it’s a month before it rather than a month after.
FINALLY, some actual jungles! That was always the quintessential Tomb Raider setting to me, so this series is finally starting to tap into that ol' Indiana Jones vibe that originally hooked me all those years ago (aside from the big jugs, but we can't expect that, now can we?).
Gah, now I wish the other Tomb Raider games were still on sale in the PSN store. $26 for both, I think it was. Rats....!!!
I really hope we see less human and more exotic animals as enemy in the game, the early ps1 game really get the adventure and alone in the wilderness feeling, the new game is just like uncharted, good game but it's not a tomb raider game.
@NecuVise Titanfall needs to release during Spring, IMHO. The first one released in April, for example. All those shooters at the end of the year is just toooo much.
I wonder why Square-Enix will not release first on Xbox, maybe because the sales were not good, who knows. xD
Anyway, both games are fun, but I'm not a huge fan of the series for a day one purchase. I will definitely wait for a sale.
@porhawj2016 Mind the language please.
@PS_Nation that would be dumb if they release this on xbox one first without PC and PS4 at launch day.. PC gamers and PS4 gamers would be mad if they do that for only Xbox one
@RedMageLanakyn Are you talking about Nintendo gamers regarding Monster Hunter: World or...
I want to try out the reboot and RotTR first. But sign me up when we have a proper trailer.
Teaser indeed. I am definitely excited for more Tomb Raider.
I bought RotTR before the holidays in a sale but haven't started it yet. Am planning on going to see the movie tomorrow, hope it doesn't spoil the game.
So, while it's obviously good PS4 owners don't have to wait a year like we did with RotTR, I do wonder how they'll make up the lost loot MS must have paid them? The PS4 anniversary version had some extra content, notably PSVR, and I got mine in the steel case. Makes me wonder if a year later we'll get the definitive version? Or maybe they are planning on a "real" 4k version on PS5 and X2. Or the game gets all FFXV. shudder.
I know, TR trilogy next summer, then the following summer next gen remastered. That should make them enough to cover the development costs.
Just playing through Rise now so I'm very excited for this one too
Hope its better than Rise was atleast!
The teaser trailer got me wanting to know more about the game. Hate teaser I wish they should of just came out with a good trailer and show some gameplay.
@johncalmc i would buy both no question!!! Cantwait for either!
@rjejr
There will obviously be post-launch DLC. What they do with it is anybody's guess but there will be a season pass and likely have some story expansion. No doubt a PS5 and next Xbox remaster will also happen.
I'm buying day one. Loved the reboot and Rise.
Interesting, especially as September isn't that long to wait - glad they didn't go for the episodic treatment as some initially thought a couple of months back.
All this talk of Mayan temples and eclipses makes me want to break out & read Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun though !!
@Strathnaver1 Blistering barnacles! I used to love those books. That one was a classic.
@PS_Nation Moreso the people who flat out refused to buy Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4 because of the exclusivity deal. I think it's pretty pathetic for someone to get so riled up over something like that, especially when there was a plethora of quality games to play in that year of exclusivity. Plus it came with all the DLC, at a lower price.
I have the Reboot and Rise on Xbox One so it would make sense to get this one on that console as well. But I very rarely play the Xbox now, maybe I will get on PS4 after all.
@Gamer83 Well I really liked the reboot - I think even more than Uncharted 4 and I consider myself to be a big Uncharted fan. Well Uncharted 2 fan anyway. As I said, I still need to play Rise, but I am looking forward to it. This will wait for the complete edition as is my new MO.
Seriously though, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and I'm considering being done with gaming as a hobby. Not all gaming, but sticking with stuff I know I'll enjoy, like this. But only when it's done, complete, deluxe, ported, whatever.
@RedMageLanakyn
@RedMageLanakyn I was mad that the collectors edition statue was so ugly.😁😋
I'll have the series spread across three platforms if I buy this on PS4. I may just get it on PC, but at the same time... Hmm. Dammit... I'll have until the inevitable Black Friday sale at any rate.
@shonenjump86 it will be fine getting it on PS4 if you want, it's not like game saves carry over or anything
@PS_Nation Compelling comeback! Nothing says "I don't have an intelligent response" like a passive aggressive gif
@FullbringIchigo true that. I’ll probably just end up doing that.
Because I like to be that guy, the Mayans were in Central, not South America. Otherwise I'm hyped.
