Welcome to another Square Enix recap and the start to a very big week for us here. Tomb Raider reviews will be going live this afternoon and we'll be keeping our eager eyes on all major games websites to read their thoughts. Make sure you're following us on Twitter as we'll be sharing the links. Also we've got some good news to share with you later this afternoon that I'm excited about!
Releases
- Heroes & Generals: Mobile Command launches today! - As much as we try it's impossible to be in front of a PC 24/7. Thanks to mobile technology and the new Heroes & Generals app you can now monitor the battle wherever you are - well, as long as there's an internet connection.
Development
- Tomb Raider PC specs revealed - The PC specifications for Tomb Raider have been revealed and thanks to the developers at Nixxes - you can read their Q&A here - Tomb Raider will even run on Windows XP.
- New Tomb Raider Guide to Survival Combat video - With only a week to ago we've delivered you another gameplay-packed video, this time focusing on dishing out a bucket-load of punishment on unwitting foes.
- New Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trailer goes exploring - The latest trailer was captured using the new Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn benchmark tool. You can download it yourself and give it a go - even the lowest of specs fare well.
- Uncover Murdered: Soul Suspect with this trailer - The clever detectives among you have unearthed the biggest piece of evidence in our web of mystery, the first teaser trailer for our new game, Murdered: Soul Suspect.
- Endurance Week: Meet The Crew - All this week Crystal Dynamics has been revealing beautiful character art in Tomb Raider for each of the major characters aboard the Endurance. See them all here: Angus Grimaldi, Alex Weiss, Jonah Maiava, Dr. James Whitman, Joslin Reyes, Samantha Nishimura, and Conrad Roth.
- Lara’s Spanish & Russian Voices Revealed! - Guiomar Alburquerque Durán and Polina Sherbakova are the new Spanish and Russian voices for Lara, respectively.
- Welcome Catherine to the Team! - You guys are awesome, sometimes so awesome that we just have to wave a job offer in your face and entice you to join the Square Enix team.
- Concept Art: Vista Fall - Why is it when they say "Don't look down", you just have to look... Lara Croft is one brave lady!
- Spotlight: Wheels of Fury - You know what an undercover cop needs? A car with mounted machine guns. Patrol the streets of Hong Kong with this bad boy and I'm sure you'll have people respecting your authority with this new Sleeping Dogs download content.
- The Planning Games - How would you go about choosing what new features go into a game? What's more important? Reto.Moto - the developers of Heroes and Generals - explain how they go about making those difficult decisions.
- Live Alive - Behind the scenes photos of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's Producer Letter live stream.
- For your eyes only - The final leg of the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's press tour brought Yoshi-P and the rest of the team to London, although they were thoroughly tired by the end of it.
