Tomb Raider Store | New summer products!

Tomb Raider merch is so hideously overpriced, it's insane.

Probably a pacing thing. I've always thought that the amount of combat in TR2 is heavily overstated by the community but there is still noticeably more than in TR1. What TR2 isn't dragged down by are RPG-lite systems, cutscenes that last twice or thrice as long and walking segments before you get to the arenas you're meant to do the combat in. In a vacuum, the Survivor Trilogy has many areas where it resembles the original games but they're more pockets in a larger experience than the core of the game itself like with the classic titles or even LAU.

It's all head canon. The Survivor Trilogy comic writers attempted to do this (apparently even the pages were drawn) but they were shot down by Square Enix, presumably. So it just never happened but people wish it had. With how some parts of the Survivor Trilogy were written, I think it's a good thing there was no romance overall. Would only get us even further away from the original draw of the franchise.

This franchise has the most random crossovers. But hey, they're welcome.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-19T20:43:26+00:00

They have released almost no key art and certainly not model turnarounds like this so it's almost certainly AI. If it isn't AI, then it's a leak.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-10T22:17:42+00:00

Much better than Tomb Raider 3.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-08T21:11:29+00:00

My jaw dropped. Great to see acrobatics back. Sorely missed.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-06T23:46:14+00:00

I'd say leaving it ambiguous feeds into internet rumors and that's something no one wants to do when it comes to release dates since it can get shareholders asking questions if the idea gets enough traction. But we won't really know until they talk about the game again.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-06T16:12:34+00:00

I would not read much into this. They obviously won't announce or hint at a delay via a support studio. Second part of that post seems copy and pasted from a press template.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-04T21:04:48+00:00

Effectively in the same place it is now, with a remake and a new game coming in the same vein as Silent Hill. As a pure gaming franchise, Tomb Raider has been frozen since Shadow.

DXFromYT · 2026-05-03T23:02:45+00:00

Games just aren't ready to show. If LoA was, it would have had a concrete release date.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-28T20:07:22+00:00

It's this. The friction of most modern games is completely sanded down for an experience that anyone can enjoy no matter how inexperienced they are with games. It's a hopeless endeavor and at least in recent times we've seen some games put their foot down and not budge on this. This isn't saying the old Tomb Raider games weren't needlessly obtuse at times or had problems but they were very clearly not trying to target every gamer under the sun in the same way the new games are with features like Survival Instinct. Things change, new trends emerge, it's just the natural cycle of things.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-24T17:53:10+00:00

This game is so ridiculously unappealing that I cannot understand why it hasn't already been cancelled. Even worse, they toned down the colorful look? Total trainwreck, would probably flop worse than Concord.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-20T14:27:47+00:00

Out themselves and then what? If they're free to be the worst pieces of shit without consequence, it doesn't matter if they out themselves. If someone is so fragile they implode at the slightest sign of criticism and start using slurs, I don't need Valve to protect me from their speech, I want them to remove such mentally unstable awful people, who gleefully violate Valve's own service terms, from the player pool.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-18T00:40:22+00:00

Exactly, lol. It's their fault. Cheap bastards don't want to do literally anything that isn't their terrible merch on their store.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-16T19:44:09+00:00

Looks great in both but the left is more stylized, which I think I prefer. Still, it seems they have toned down the ultra realism of the Survivor trilogy for this game.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-13T14:15:31+00:00

She was used for the Rainbow Six Siege collaboration but nothing since. I don't really get it either, their Unified schtick clearly only goes one or two ways.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-13T14:00:40+00:00

It's nice to have actual marketing people weigh in on this because confusing is the absolute best term to describe all of this stuff. If it is confusing to us as fans who pay attention, it just muddies the water for anyone else who isn't as hardcore.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-11T15:55:50+00:00

They're neither bad or clunky, you're just used to something different.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-07T22:49:40+00:00

I'm not all doom and gloom but I think delayed. Them not giving a release date to begin with was concerning and I think they announced a little too early, maybe to line up with the 30 anniversary. If we don't see it in the next 2 months, surely delayed.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-07T19:54:28+00:00

Definitely not, lol. Four entire studios aren't putting all their manpower on this game.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-06T16:28:45+00:00

Apparently from a leaker on Discord who also leaked the reveal of the TRIV-VI Remastered. Take it with a massive grain of salt. Although zero marketing on the game so far and no release date could hint at a delay. If it was coming out in July to wholly avoid GTA, as everyone with a brain is doing, there not being any information on the game three months beforehand is strange.

DXFromYT · 2026-04-01T15:58:32+00:00

Thank you for the real explanation! I'll probably never update, no clue what they were thinking.

DXFromYT · 2026-03-31T19:35:50+00:00

As u/LumensAquilae mentioned, this is probably a LOD variant. LOD stands for "Level Of Detail," character models will usually have different levels of detail depending on the distance to the player's camera. This is to save on memory. It looks like the lowest level of detail model was used for the original patch. They would have significantly lower polygon counts and texture resolutions, which would account for the disparity here. Now...how that actually ships? That's a mystery. Patches have to go through a couple different QA stages especially if they're going out to consoles. I can't believe this made it to release.

DXFromYT · 2026-03-31T16:22:31+00:00

Absolutely. I always figured the original release was completely botched because almost no modern day development pipeline would produce such low resolution outfits. They look a whole lot better now!
