Please note, the following is a rumour: According to an article on German games magazine "Gamestrend" the upcoming Tomb Raider will be delayed until 2013. One of the reasons given are "problems with the new engine". As there is not really a "new" engine for the game, the question is, is it a problem with new features of the engine or is it simply not true. As the rumour came up during the weekend, we have no official statement from Crystal Dynamics yet. So it is uncertain if these rumours are true or if Tomb Raider will come out in the fall of 2012, as planned.

A new video entitled "Behind The Scenes of Tomb Raider's Debut Trailer" has been released on the gameinformer.com-website. In it you can find out more about the production of the E3 Trailer called "Turning Point". Several employees of Crystal Dynamics and Square, like Karl Steward, the director of the trailer, talk about how the trailer has come into being.

As part of their E3 2011 presentation for Xbox 360 Microsoft showed a first glimpse of the first minutes of the upcoming Tomb Raider (Fall 2012). Watch Lara free herself from a trap, making her way through tunnels, to be attacked by a crazy man and wade through deep water. She is seen relighting her torch, using contraptions for climbing, pushing stuff around and sliding down hill before she has to run and jump through a collapsing cave. As the end she is attacked by the crazy man again, but can escape to the outside world.

IGN will be playing the Tomb Raider, as part of their E3 coverage and you can watch the live stream of it.

The show will start Wednesday, June 8th at 04:20pm PST or 11:20pm GMT.

Be sure to bookmark their live stream and see the first ingame footage of Lara's latest adventure.

The first trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider called "Turning Point" revealed the release date to be set for "Fall 2012". That's still a long way to go in which we will probably see more trailers and images from Lara's first adventure. The video shows the beginning of Lara's journey. Aboard the research vessel Endurance a young Lara Croft, fresh off of college, is relaxing in her bed, listening to music, when the ship is hit by an unexpected storm, she must struggle not to drown. Trying to reach Roth, on the other part of the damaged ship, Lara falls into the water. Later she finds herself on the shore of a mysterious island, in a graveyard of ships, among them the Endurance. She is forced to apply a tourniquet around her upper arm, before setting out for adventure, a bow on her back.

Two new images have been released. The first, another teaser image from the upcoming Trailer "Teasing Point" (don't miss it tonight, or tomorrow morning for those in the UK), has been posted as a thank you for the 15.000+ fans who joined the Tomb Raider Facebook page. You find it in the gallery of the Tomb Raider Facebook page, as well as in out gallery here in the forums. Further the tourniquet image that has been on the cover of many magazines lately has been released in all common wallpaper formats. You find these wallpapers on flickr.com.
