Shadow of the Tomb Raider

PlayStation®4, Xbox™One, Steam Ι Genre: Legendary Adventure

Let’s go back to the second half of the 90s; more specifically to 1996. At that time the world was in full girls-power mode thanks to “Wannabe”; the debut single of the English pop-band Spice Girls. Following the cultural trend of the period, in the same year, the British video game developer Core Design shown to the world a new kind of fully 3D action-game, starring a beautiful, clever, and above all independent heroine called Lara Croft: the game was -obviously- Tomb Raider! Like a modern Indiana Jones; her mission was to find the Scion, a long forgotten relic that could give to its owner a godly power. Exploring much historical heritage across the world, in her first adventure Lara climbed, run, swam, and eliminated all the obstacles on her path.
Bringing an incredible revolution in the game industry, Tomb Raider soon became one of the most popular titles for PlayStation, Saturn and PC making Lara the first digital sex-symbol in history.

From a sociological point of view, her impact on the market marked a significant change in the concept of “main character”. Until 1996 almost every main character in games was male, and women were present only as helpers. But the release of Tomb Raider brings a breath of fresh air; the player could see himself as a woman performing all those activities previously considered exclusively masculine, and this representation has been a real breakpoint with the past. As in Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise, also in Tomb Raider, the conventional perceptions of girls are undermined not only showing a strongly determined character but also because these new kinds of girls enter in male-only landscapes such as deserts, dark cities, tombs or caves.

Appearing in several hundreds of magazine covers, music videos, and movies Ms. Croft can be considered one of the most impactful cultural icons of the last 20 years. She’s at same time hero (active) and helper (to be looked at); a great exhibition of beauty and power. Since then these multi-million selling series grown in popularity and quality, and finally, on Sept. 14, she will returns on a new adventure: Shadow of the Tomb Raider for PS4, XB1, and Steam!

Lara is now in South America on the trail of Patiti; a legendary Inca’s lost city in which is enclosed the secret to preventing the apocalypse. Thanks to its stunningly realistic graphics, its intense gameplay, and a riveting plot the latest episode is truly a must-have gem for all adventurers who want to live something unique.
