News Lara Croft Doesn't Have to Murder Everyone in Rise of the Tomb Raider
If looks could kill
Strengthening its similarities to The Last of Us, the forthcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider – which will deploy on the PlayStation 4 next year – can be played non-lethally.

And this latest footage from Gamescom 2015 is worth talking about, as it shows heroine Lara Croft embroiled in a variety of sticky situations. Get your mind out of the gutter, we don't mean like...
Gamescom 2015 Lara Croft's Next Adventure Likely Won't Be Late on PS4
Well, that's a relief
Everyone in the entertainment industry is absolutely obsessed with trilogies, so it's no surprise to learn that Crystal Dynamics has three games mapped out for Tomb Raider's current story arc. Square Enix boss Phil Rogers let the snippet slip during an interview with GameSpot earlier today, describing Lara Croft's latest...
Gamescom 2015 Rise of the Tomb Raider Goes Gung-Ho in Gameplay Trailer
Killer Croft
Crystal Dynamics looked to Uncharted for inspiration for its Tomb Raider reboot, and it looks like the developer's used Naughty Dog as a guide again.

Poll Will You Be Buying Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4?
Sloppy seconds

Xbox exclusivity a problem for PlayStation fans
Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't coming out on the PlayStation 4 – well, not yet anyway. In all likelihood, the release will launch on Sony's system six or so months after the Xbox version deploys in November – but that's still quite a long wait for fans of the franchise. Asked whether PlayStation...
E3 2015 What Have They Done to Lara Croft's Face in Rise of the Tomb Raider?
Changing appearances
Seeing as Microsoft stuck rigidly to its Holiday 2015 qualifier for Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity, we can safely assume that it's coming to the PlayStation 4 next year. As such, we're stretching things a little, we know – but its gameplay demonstration is probably just about worth sharing here. In the clip, we see...
News We Should Probably Post This Rise of the Tomb Raider Video, Right?
Ice ice, baby
Well, this is all a bit awkward, isn't it? Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, recently re-iterated that Rise of the Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive, so we should probably post this brand new trailer, right? You'll have to forgive us for all of the Microsoft branding which is plastered all over the, admittedly brief, clip, then. There's...

Exclusive antics
We daresay that that recent Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End demo may have prompted you to forget about poor Lara Croft – after all, the recent Tomb Raider reboot, while thoroughly enjoyable, was very derivative of Nathan Drake’s primary PlayStation 3 escapades. However, the forthcoming Rise of Tomb Raider has been brought back to...
