Hidden Message in New Tomb Raider Announcement

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics took to Facebook today to announce an upcoming unveiling of the next installment in the Tomb Raider franchise. Their update was a simple one and essentially laid out their intentions to fans.   Naturally, the announcement of a pending unveiling is innocent enough…until you look at the first letter of […]

[AizenSosuke]

Keeping sucking that EA dolla

[nevin1]

I just started Rise. It continued from the demo I played back in Feb but so far it's very slow pace compared to the Definitive Edition.

I just finished RotTR last night! Great game, don't worry it defiantly picks up. While I love the game I gotta point out that if it "Uncharted" any harder it would pull a muscle! For real tho, if you're gonna ape something Uncharted is the one to do it to

[Athos]

You might wanna re-think that, there is a reason they called it "Dude Raider".

[ASBO-5]

yes, originally uncharted was a tomb raider knock off but it didn't take long for it to greatly outpace it. the rebooted TR games owe everything to uncharted, even the creators claim the games are very heavily inspired by uncharted

[jmetalhead77812]

For an Xbox gamer, I’ll take the “Uncharted” similarities. I loved the Uncharted games last gen. Just don’t have much time to play multiple systems. RotTR was a really good game. Not on the Uncharted level, but not far off either.

[ASBO-5]

For sure! If one doesn't have the ability to play an uncharted game, the new TR game will certainly scratch the itch

[bluefox755]

@ASB0-5 Uncharted was never a "Tomb Raider knockoff", lol. If anything it was an Indiana Jones knockoff, as was Tomb Raider. Like you said, the new tomb raider games borrowed many of the mechanics from Uncharted as well, but to claim that Tomb Raider invented the treasure hunting concept is silly.

[ASBO-5]

Well 1, I never claimed that and 2 Naughty Dog themselves even admitted to being a tr knockoff, hence why they called it dude raider in house while early in development

[bluefox755]

@ASBO-5 Calling it "dude raider" isn't admitting that it's a "knock off". That's just stupid. It's an obvious joke, it even sounds like a joke. But even if they did, that doesn't change the fact that tomb raider didn't invent the treasure hunting, action/adventure genre. Not by a long shot. Use some common sense man.

[DJStotty]

@bluefox

You could treasure hunt in the original tomb raider on the PC???? May not have invented treasure hunting but was an established action/adventure game well before uncharted came along

[Imalwaysright]

TR was basically the game that started it all for the action adventure genre and is one of the pillars of 3D gaming. You have no idea of what you're talking about.

@ blue Indiana Jones is a movie, it's not a game and the game that set the template not only for indiana jones style games but action adventure games in general was TR. Lara was jumping, exploring, climbing, swimming, solving puzzles, using stealth, killing enemies, having boss battles, finding hidden treasures... well before ND came up with Uncharted. Also TR didn't borrow anything from Uncharted mechanics wise. It did borrow from RE4 (over the shoulder and aiming system), and Killswitch/Gears for the modern cover system just like ND did. The platforming/climbing that we see in TR has been present in it since TR Legend.

[Joe913]

Original Tomb Raider and Uncharted is nothing alike. At least the first two or three Tomb Raiders you barely even came across humans lol. All I remember shooting was gators, wolves, and other animals it didn't start having Uncharted style shoot outs until the end when the story started to sucked.

[ASBO-5]

@bluefox
for real man, where the hell are you getting the notion that I said "tomb raider didn't invent the treasure hunting, action/adventure genre"??? Nothing I said even comes close to that!

[ASBO-5]

I mean honestly, we all know that Indiana Jones inspired Tomb Raider which inspired Uncharted which re-inspired Tomb Raider, and thats not a bad thing, theres nothing wrong with it. I have no earthly idea where you're getting this argument from.

[Exvalos]

That's cool but pointless we already knew the title lol

[Exvalos]

Was so hoping the letters would have spelled out Kain, somehow. Somehow someway someday I will get my Legacy of Kain series back

[FallenAngel1984]

The description isn’t finished

[Summons75]

Nice of SE to finally confirm but I think everyone and their brother already knew about Shadow of the Tomb Raider was coming.

[2ndhandcorn]

Still have not finished the other games and likely will not . Take too much time like them just find it hard to play for more than 20 min bursts.

[Yohshida]

Thats a nice hint

[jc12]

Liked Tomb Raider one...but felt like the shooting mechanics and enemies were dull in TR2...

[adonisisfree]

I cant lie, that was smooth af..

[alexh]

So so keeen :D Last tomb raider was amazing and looked great on the one x keen to see what this one will have in store for us!

[bluefox755]

That's great and all, but doesn't really tell me anything.

[ASBO-5]

It’s a literal hint at the games title.

[gamer7804]

can't wait, hopefully Lara travels to multiple locations this time and begins to feel like a seasoned confident tomb raider. Maybe we'll get the classic outfit at some point.

[Gman32]

Confirmed next tomb raider game will be on xbox one for awhole year then come to other platforms lol just kidding

[AizenSosuke]

Nice
