We’ve known for a while now that the Tomb Raider reboot would feature a younger Lara Croft who endures a horrible shipwreck and we’d get to witness her transform into the heroic survivor we’ve grown to love over the years. But even with that knowledge, the first trailer for the game has left us speechless. It’s simply stunning and at the same time it’s emotionally gripping. It’s strange how a 3-minute video can rekindle interest in a franchise that is years past its prime, but it manages to do so with ease. And while the games owe some of their popularity to the exaggerated proportions of its leading lady, we can say hands down that this new gritty and realistic Lara is way hotter. We can’t wait to hear more next week at E3!
