Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s Paititi hub city revealed with extended gameplay footage

Eidos Montreal and Square Enix have released 10 minutes of Shadow of the Tomb Raider gameplay, showcasing the hub area of Paititi while also revealing several aspects of the game such as trade, difficulty and of course Tomb Raiding. 

Shadow of the Tomb Raider will have independent difficulty settings for puzzles, exploration and combat, with higher exploration difficulties removing the white “paint” and other details which typically show players where to climb. Like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara will also learn languages based on reading ancient texts, making even the game’s small details important when it comes to finding hidden object and solving puzzles later in the game.  

The hub world of Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be the village of Paititi, where Lara can trade goods accept quests or interact with a wide range of NPCs, animals and objects. This area will also have several Challenge Tombs nearby, which can be useful for gaining weapon upgrades and additional experience.
