After revealing that there will be a multiplayer mode in the reboot of Tomb Raider, details of the mode have been released. It comes from a Tomb Raider forum user who took the info from the new Official Xbox Magazine. The magazine says that there will be at least two modes, Team Deathmatch and Rescue, but a third mode has been hinted at called “Cry For Help”.
Team Deathmatch, setting groups Lara’s survivor friends against natives named “scavengers”. Matches will be ”Best-of-three matches, alternating between sides.” Rescue tasks survivors with collecting med packs and delivering them to set destinations on the map while the scavengers must kill a set number of the survivors to win. The hinted at third mode will “place a strong emphasis on discovery and collection” but nothing else has been detailed.
Maps are apparently not too “wide open” and features “traps that shot spikes out of walls, climbable surfaces, destroyable environmental elements (like bridges), and weaponry like Lara’s now trademark bow and arrow.” XP and load outs also feature.
There seems to be no playable Lara Croft so far which makes the mode slightly less exciting for me. A feature where the best player gets access to a hero character, seen in the Star Wars: Battlefront games, or spending currency / XP on a Lara skin, such as in the Uncharted multiplayer mode, would make for a great addition.
