There`s not long to go until Shadow of the Tomb Raider`s release date of September 14 arrives. It`s been almost three years since its predecessor, Rise of the Tomb Raider, launched on Xbox One, and in that time we`ve seen two games from Lara Croft`s rival, Nathan Drake--Uncharted 4: A Thief`s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Now, Shadow of the Tomb Raider developer Eidos Montreal has commented on what it feels the differences are between Lara`s long-running series and Sony`s own adventure franchise.`The tone is a little different--they`re more grounded with their mythology, and we`re more magical,` Jason Dozois, Shadow`s narrative director, told GameSpot. `They`re more humor-oriented and we`re a bit more drama-oriented. I think we have a uniqueness on the exploration side.`The director also said he and the Eidos Montreal team are `huge fans of Uncharted.` He continued: `I loved Uncharted 4, it was a lot of fun. Great storytelling and great character moments. It`s fun to be in that world.`In a separate interview, Eidos Montreal`s lead game designer, Heath Smith, told GameSpot that the studio had no plans for a Nintendo Switch version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. We recently got to check out an updated build of Lara`s latest adventure--check out our verdict on Shadow of the Tomb Raider`s highs and lows. While playing, we discovered the game will include outfits for Lara based around `90s classic Tomb Raider II. For more on the game, take a look at some fresh Shadow of the Tomb Raider gameplay.
