So you can almost skip step two since it’s so fast and that gives you an edge when you play Time Attack because you can go that much faster in co-op.

Those actions can bring you to alternate paths.įor example, the first two steps in the puzzle in The Forge of Destiny, you have to do them one after the other but in co-op, you can get to a path that brings the second player directly to step two. But there are some paths and mechanics that, when you play in co-op, let you do additional actions that are only available when you have two people doing simultaneous actions. GR: What are the differences in solo and co-op?ĭahan: The tomb is identical in solo and co-op. So it’s really old school in that sense too. You can just fall to your death if you don’t pay attention or have the right timing. There’s lava on the side and you have make sure to not fall and watch out for platforms that retract. The Forge of Destiny is a huge tower and it’s like seven stories high and you have to make this huge mechanism go up seven floors. GR: It sounds like a dungeon at that point.ĭahan: Pretty much. But once you finish them, you feel super smart and you feel very accomplished like a Tomb Raider.

We went into the direction of the old school Tomb Raider where you have puzzles that you could spend an hour or two in them and have trouble figuring them out.
SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER CO OP FULL
So we just asked our designers to come up these huge tombs that take up the scope of a full building. But we decided to go with the tombs.īecause we realized that in Montreal versus Crystal, we’re really more comfortable with huge scale puzzles. We preserved the co-op and we went with the same mechanics and we improved upon them a bit. We do have that aspect of survival in Shadow but we wanted to try something new in co-op. Rise was all about survival in the snow and super harsh, cold weather. Why do co-op?ĭahan: It was something that was pretty successful on Rise because they did co-op for Endurance Mode. GR: Tomb Raider has almost always been single-player. Doing the the second DLC before the fourth DLC gives you some insight and the rewards from the second DLC help you in the side mission from the fourth DLC. It’s the same people giving you the mission. GR: Is the story overarching over the whole seven pieces of DLC or self-contained?ĭahan: Some are isolated but others, like the second and fourth piece of DLC, if you do them in order, are more interesting because they actually fit together well. Whenever you start one of those DLC side missions, you’ll go through those tombs because it’s part of the mystery and the hidden stories of those characters. Like some of the allies of Lara and some of the bad guys and factions.īut some of their moments had passed but what happens to them? How did they get to that situation? So in addition to the tombs we’re gonna try to add a new side missions to dive a bit more into those stories.

We reviewed the game ourselves too and we realized that we wanted to dive into some characters more. And so it started with tombs and then we realized and then once the game was done, we started to have reviews and focus testing. So we said the most pure version of Tomb Raider is just tombs. We wanted to do co-op and we wanted to find the best way to convey that experience. GR: What was the impetus of making these narrative-based missions over just having them be just separate Challenge Tombs?ĭahan: It first started as Challenge Tombs. She’s going to discover something about herself that Lara is going to help her find out. So the story of The Forge is about her hidden story. We’re diving into the stories of some of the characters and the factions that you encounter in the main game.įor example, the second player when you play in co-op is Abby from the Kuwaq Yaku village in the main game. We wanted to make sure that we bring new narratives, gameplay, and rewards to the players so that’s why in every DLC we have new side missions, weapons, outfits, and skills. Jonathan Dahan: We are going to be doing seven DLCs and the last one will come out in mid April.
