Stage 3 Pre-Order Incentive Announced




The images above showcase the exclusive Shanty Town Multiplayer Map you will receive as the final pre-order bonus for Tomb Raider. This area has been built up by the scavengers on the island and features many steep climbs, zip lines and traps to maneuver. It looks as though, at least in the US, you will receive this bonus when pre-ordering from any retailer. This includes Amazon, Gamestop, Best Buy and Walmart.

Note: This DLC map was previously referred to as the "Endurance Pack" in earlier stages when multiplayer was yet-to-be announced.

Nora Tschirner Announced as German Voice of Lara Croft


Nora Tschirner has been announced the the German voice for Lara Croft. The video is in German so good luck understanding it! You can still make out the emotion and she does a pretty good job in my opinion.

From The Official Tomb Raider Blog:


Big, international news continues to break as we roll closer to the launch of Tomb Raider! Today, Square Enix Germany announced the lucky lady who is voicing Lara Croft for the German market – Nora Tschirner.

Born in Berlin, Nora is a famous actress noted for roles in movies such as “Keinohrhasen” and “Zweiohrküken.” Her career started on MTV and with television appearances in “Doctor’s Diary” and “Ijon Tichy. ” Nora has won several notable awards for her talents, including a German Comedy award and “Woman of the Year 2010” by GQ. Most recently Nora lent her voice to Merida in Disney’s Brave.

“My process to think about this offer to take this role, was very short - Lara Croft is just a legend,” shared Nora about her new role. “The concept of telling her history in the new Tomb Raider and creating the character with a greater depth is really exciting. It is definitely one of the most intense and emotional roles that I got to play so far.”

Tune in above to hear Nora as Lara, and to see some behind-the-scenes clips from her recent recording sessions. Even if you don’t speak German, emotion and enthusiasm are universal!
