Ryan Horton from Crystal Dynamics has taken the stage to show us the first glimpse of gameplay from Rise of the Tomb Raider. It starts on a snowy mountain, with Lara attempting to climb up.
Inevitably, things don’t go quite to plan, and what follows is a very tense and action-packed sequence, something which the first game was full of. Catch the full demonstration below:

Rise of the Tomb Raider will launch exclusively for Xbox One towards the end of the year, but it is expected to make its way to other platforms in the future, as the “Xbox One Exclusive | Holiday 2015” phrasing implies.

That looked amazing… another great reason to buy Xbox One

Streaming footage quality was less than ideal, hopefully some better quality footage soon.

The only thing MS had that looked remotely interesting that isn’t going to be on the PS4.
And just like the last one but with snow.
At least they’re making it clear it’s an XBox exclusive now though. Not leaving any doubt that it isn’t just a timed exclusive. Not even close to giving me a reason to buy an XBone though.

I didn’t realise the modern tomb raider games were so cinematic. No hud, qtes, no transition between gameplay and cutscene. I like. Seriously. Big fan of Ryse, The order, Quantic dream games.
Won’t be buying this on principle though because of the timed exclusive bs.

Me either. I’ll be renting it on XB1 until it comes out on PS4 and then I’ll buy it second hand. This would have been a day one purchase for me me too but I wont support this vile practice. #multiplatraiders #neverforget #dealwithit

I’m a big Tomb Raider fan, but that did nothing for me. So unoriginal. They should have shown another part, as I’m sure it’s gonna be a fantastic game.

Yeah, it does look good. I hope there are some quiet ‘explorey’ sections and it isn’t all chaos like this. And please for the love of God have tombs/puzzles this time.

more running away from explosions/collapsing building/gunships/landslides/iforgot what the thing with the snow is called and slides.
seriously, enough with the bloody slides.
i tell you, Uncharted has a lot to answer for. ^_^
anyway, i’ll get excited for the game when they announce a PS4 release date.
assuming they actually have some of what made the original games good, not having to fight huge armies in places nobody in the outside world has been to for thousands of years.
i reckon she killed more guys than Rambo, all four movies, in the last game
bring back some of the environmental puzzles that were the bread and butter of the originals.
and have some, you know, TOMBS.
radical thought i know. ^_^

avalanche, that’s the word i was trying to remember.
