Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have just released a brand new video with their upcoming Tomb Raider game, in the form of the Guide to Survival Episode 3, which shows off how protagonist Lara Croft can upgrade her skills and weapons in order to withstand different enemies.

The new Tomb Raider game presents not just a brand new version of heroine Lara Croft, but also emphasizes survival alongside exploration and combat, as the protagonist needs to stay alive on the island on which she was shipwrecked.

Her survival involves a variety of mechanics already detailed in the Guide to Survival series and now, in the last episode, the developer shows off how Lara can upgrade her skills and abilities, while improving the weapons she can use.

These things will give her an advantage over the mercenaries and the various other dangers situated on the island.

Tomb Raider is out on March 5 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
