Lara Croft’s ability to survive across her dangerous adventures is often the crux of the Tomb Raider games. While trial and error is almost always involved, eventual domination over adversity is due to the many skills and resources at her disposal. Shadow of the Tomb Raider looks to be no different, having our heroine face the harshest of environments, but not without the tools to properly stop it all in its tracks.

Utilizing Lara’s clever tactics, a number of useful abilities are open to the player that make survival among Shadow’s harsh jungles a tad bit easier. Perceptive senses such as “Eye of the Eagle” allow Lara to spot animals and natural resources, craftings in the like of “Viper’s Lure” provide the upper hand against enemies, and enhancements among “Scales of the Serpent” allow for moments of increased focus in tense situations. See these skills in action in the video below.

It’s apparent that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is piecing together to be Lara Croft’s most defining adventure yet, one that players will undoubtedly enjoy. Plenty of fan service is abound already with the game’s feature of polygonal retro outfits, the advent of an official Tomb Raider board game, and an excellent Lara Croft statue.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 14th.
