All that climbing paid off:

Muscle mass:

Note this is from their gear guide for cosplayers and isn't exactly reflective of the graphics that'll be seen in the final game. Just the model posed with standard lighting. Also should clear up some misconceptions as some believed that her face had been redesigned again due to the CGI trailer.

MOD EDIT:
The amount of juvenile, lame, and crass jokes and reactions in here is shameful and embarrassing. Get this thread back on track. Future posts that engage in this behavior will be actioned appropriately.

I actually dig this outfit much more than in the previous reboot games. No more regular tank tops please

I like that she has an 'outfit' - I could take that as a redesign of her more iconic look.

I'm not so sure about the new signature pose though.

Lara looking more jacked in this one and actually seems to be actually be a bit thicker all around than the more slim physique we've seen her with in the past few games. I like it, comes off a bit more realistic for a lady doing what she does.

Ehh. This game already had one major strike against it, what with it being the sequel to the god-awful ROTR, and this new design just makes it look even worse.

Likes like a cheap toy you get from stores compared to a play arts figure from the first tomb rider reboot

That pose looks really awkward to me.

EDIT: It would actually work if she was holding a bow in one hand pulling an arrow out of a quiver on her back with the other, but she doesn't have either of those so it just looks weird.

Only seeing an image tag
The problem with uploading to other sites would be even further compression than the twitter version. :|

Try actually articulating what's bad about it.

Maybe it's the lighting but her character model looks kind of cartoonish
Like Uncharted the devs of TR slightly stylize the characters instead of going for total photorealism.

Third person shooter with no hip fire

Build fire in first 30 minutes to keep warm then forget that shit exists

What is a video game story

Bad guy wants to take over the world just so the stakes are "high"

Hand to hand combat is a joke

Etc etc.

I loved TR 2013. Fucking loathed the sequel what with its bloated "hub" worlds and whatnot

Weird pose. Like the added muscle. Really hope there will be alterante outfits as has been customary so far since 2013.

I meant the outfit. Bad guy wanting to take over the world isn't an inherent negative against the game btw. That wasn't even the main motivation of the main antagonist.

I like the increase in muscle mass/toning, th outfit is eh. I prefered the others. Its can't put my finger on why. The best I can guess is I find the weird middle of the road tone off putting. Its not fully casual and its not fully militant.

I got the impression from the CG trailer that Shadow Lara was going to be a muscular Rise Lara.

Dig this. Definitely more realistic for a woman who is pulling her body weight ledge over ledge and then fighting big dudes. The side by side comparison isn't great because of the angle of the new model though.

I'm running purely on assumption here, but the gear guide this page is taken from has an entire page dedicated solely to the bow and arrow and also features her quiver. So I assume that's what the pose is supposed to represent.

The side by side comparison isn't great because of the angle of the new model though.
Part of why I put a disclaimer in the OP, i'm sure some outlet or multiple is gonna have an entire article dedicated to the work the devs put into the model with some pretty in-engine renders.

The old model looks a lot better in that comparison. Hopefully it looks a lot better in the game.

I don't really like it, it's too smooth and modern. I always preferred the more leathery layered outfits with darker colors.
