Square Enix kicked off its E3 2018 presentation with a bang, courtesy of a new piece of gameplay footage from Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The third part of Lara Croft's rebooted adventures, the title looks set to turn up Lara's own hunting instincts this time around, bringing the character closer to her position in the original games.

That said, the game will also want to include the same amount of story-driven impact that its two predecessors have given. Alongside fantastic gameplay, the new Tomb Raider games have done a great job of packing a narrative punch, and so a lot is expected of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. With the game also looking stunning from a design perspective, this could be Lara's most impactful episode to date.

At the very least, it looks as though the adventurer is going to be doing her fair share of hunting in the game. In the new gameplay video showcased by Square Enix, Lara Croft was able to stealthily take down enemies, moving through the environment with ease. The gameplay trailer in question can be seen above.
