The video also featured Lara swimming underwater and executing stealth attacks against members of the Trinity, a mysterious organization that also happens to be searching for the same lost nation as she is. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara also has the ability to throw items to distract her enemies so that she can move undetected. Overall, there is clearly a larger focus on stealth in this upcoming sequel.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is set to be released for the Xbox One on November 13. You can check out our preview of the game here.
