9. Rise Of The Tomb Raider
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDUwiu4tmtg "We become who we're meant to be." These chilling words ended the stunning CG reveal trailer of Rise of the Tomb Raider, the sequel to the fantastic reboot of the series from 2013. The sequel has been long-rumored ever since the first game took the industry by surprise, painting the character of Lara Croft into a much more realistic and believable character, which made its reveal quite the pleasant surprise. There's an ominous tone to the whole trailer, making it clear that Lara's next adventure will delve deeper into what makes the character tick. While there's no gameplay on display, the tone and pacing of the trailer is incredible. There's a ton of atmosphere, all of it centered on this rich, complex story arc that Lara's character is on. One big thing we can take away from the Rise of the Tomb Raider trailer is the clarity at which it presents the story we can expect; Lara is not cured from her traumatic experience on the island, and we're going to see things get very dark for her before the true rise of the heroine we all know and love.
