Shadow of the Tomb Raider End Beginning trailer

The first official trailer for Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been released, giving us our first look at the game set for release later this year. This is set to be the final installment in the origin story trilogy for Lara Croft, and the trailer gives us a brief look at the latest predicament Lara has gotten herself into. You can check it out at the bottom of this post.

The trailer switches between two different events, with one of them being a young boy in the process of being sacrificed at a Mayan alter and Lara apparently on the way to save him. It seems like Lara covers an awful lot of ground during the time it takes for the shaman to finally initiate the sacrifice, but of course Lara makes it in time to save him. Lara first must take out a group of heavily armed guards in a jungle, scale a cliff, struggle through an underwater current and then make it to the top of a pyramid. All in a day’s work.

It’s about what you would expect for a trailer for the next Tomb Raider game, which is to say that it doesn’t do much to really stir excitement. The previous games in the series have been solid, but hopefully this next installment shakes up the formula a bit and is able to stand on its own two feet.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with the release date set for September 14th. Be sure to check out the trailer below, which is called The End of the Beginning. The various editions of the game and their accompanying box arts leaked yesterday, giving everyone an early look at what’s in store.

Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.

According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.

More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.

Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!

Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.

Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.

IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.

Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.

Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?

Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.

Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.

Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
