The first details and screenshots of Rise of the Tomb Raider have been revealed, courtesy of Game Informer.

According to the site, Lara’s latest adventure will send her to the frozen wilderness of Siberia “on a hunt for the lost secrets of immortality” as she faces up to a new enemy, “a secret society that has been lying in the shadows since the last game”.

Lara will reportedly have access to new gear to hunt and explore “larger puzzle tombs”, including, by the looks of it, two climbing axes.

“Rise of the Tomb Raider is equally ambitious as the last one,” said Square Enix’s head of studios Darrell Gallagher. “It’s less about what is Tomb Raider. It’s more about how do we top what we did last time.”

Further details on Rise of the Tomb Raider are expected to be revealed in the latest issue of Game Informer, due out on digital stores later today.

Rise of the Tomb Raider launches on Xbox One and Xbox 360 this Christmas. A release on other platforms has yet to be confirmed.
