Tomb Raider Multiplayer Modes Revealed, Details Inside

Posted on Thursday, January 3 @ 07:50:05 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Just last week, it was revealed that Crystal Dynamic's upcoming Tomb Raider reboot will feature multiplayer. Now, we have a few details on exactly what will be offered alongside the main campaign when the game releases this March.

On the official Tomb Raider forums, a number of details from OXM's exclusive feature were posted. As one might expect, there will be a Team Deathmatch option, which pits a group of Lara's pals against a team of vicious natives. Players will alternate sides after each match in a best out of three battle.

Next up is a mode called "Rescue," which tasks a team of "survivors" with picking up and delivering med-packs to various locations around the map. Meanwhile, another team called "scavengers" try to thwart the other team's efforts by taking them out.

And last but not least is a game type called "Cry for Help." Unfortunately, all we know about it right now is that it places a large emphasis on discovering and collecting stuff. 

Interestingly enough, it doesn't look like Lara will make an appearance in the multiplayer. There is, however, a large cast of characters to choose from. You'll be able to customize your loadouts and upgrade your character through a leveling system.

The game's multiplayer is being developed by the talented team behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution over at Eidos Montreal, so don't go dismissing it just yet.

    The ideas sound cool, but do they really belong in a Tomb Raider game?

    It good be okay. But as it is, I would feel better if they said there WASN'T any multiplayer (like BioShock Infinite).

    Same here. Even if it turns out to be an incredible experience to play with friends, I just can't get excited about this because I rarely get into multiplayer games as it is.

    Call me crazy, but if every video game was solely a single-player experience, I'd be totally fine with that.

    This sounds a lot like the Max Payne 3 multiplayer. Solid 3rd-person mechanics, deathmatch and objective modes, customizing different characters and loadouts based on the gametype/team you're playing.

    Much of this is wishful thinking, but if it is anything like MP3, I think it could add value to the overall package. I definitely prefer single-player 99 times out of 100, but I won't dismiss it without knowing more.

    Max Payne 3 multiplayer was pretty awesome. I hope to see the bullet-time mechanics elsewhere because they actually played out well.

    I like what I read about traps and destructible bridges, etc. Hopefully one of said traps is a catapult of some kind.
