ESRB broadly warns of strong language, intense violence, and lots of blood and gore in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Here’s the full “rating summary” via the ESRB:

“This is an action game in which players assume the role of archaeologist Lara Croft as she attempts to stop a mysterious group known as Trinity. From a third-person perspective, players can explore jungles and tombs, solve puzzles, and engage in combat with enemy figures and animals. Players use firearms (e.g., pistols, shotguns, machine guns), arrows, and an ice pick/axe to attack and kill enemies. Combat is highlighted by screams of pain, realistic gunfire, and explosions. Some areas allow Lara to use stealth to sneak up behind her enemies before stabbing them in the head or chest. Players must avoid traps/hazards when grappling and exploring tombs; when Lara fails to avoid these dangers, players are shown brief cutscenes of Lara being impaled on spikes, stabbed with spears, or mauled by animals. Action is frequently accompanied by realistic blood effects, and some areas contain mutilated corpses on sacrificial altars, hanging from the ceiling, or piled in a cave. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in the dialogue.

So Shadow of the Tomb Raider,  will be a bit more violence and darkness than normal.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Sept. 14 2018. Additional information will be out through E3.

Lara Croft’s journey looks as harrowing as ever in the extended gameplay preview of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, shown during Square Enix’s pre-taped presentation Monday morning at E3.

“It means going from someone who wants to possess relics to understanding there’s a greater purpose to that,” Dozois said. “And she’s still not there yet. She’s getting into things she doesn’t understand. And that’s what she needs to learn — that actions have consequences. She has tremendous power, but she’s still immature.”

Shadow of the Tomb Raider game director David Bisson, of studio Edios Montreal, described this gameplay as Lara “becoming one with the jungle.” He also mentioned the game would have new elements, like grappling hooks and wall running, as well as “full 360-degree swimming,” which likely will have Lara exploring underwater environments.

Square Enix showed off some more of the third game in the rebooted Tomb Raider series prior to E3, revealing that Lara’s mission is going to be one that’s greater than just her. There’s an entire civilization that stands to be affected by her journey, as well as by the machinations of Trinity.
