Shadow of the Tomb Raider is shaping up to be Lara Croft's biggest adventure to date. And I do mean that in a physical sense, because simply judging by the hub world, there is going to be a lot to explore. Readers can take my word for it, going to back to our pre-E3 hands-on preview, but earlier this week, Square Enix gave Tomb Raider fans a chance to look at Paititi for themselves.

This near-ten minute video illustrates everything that Paititi has to offer. This includes challenge tombs, murals that increase her archaeological proficiency, merchants, and a multitude of denizens. All of Paititi's people go about their own routines and have their own lore or side missions that they can offer Lara.

Check out the video above for more on Paititi and then revisit our pre-E3 interview with Eidos Montreal Lead Level Designer Arne Oehme for a little more on the Tomb Raider franchise's biggest hub world to date.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 14.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
