There’s really not very long to go until the launch of 2013’s Tomb Raider with less than one month to wait until that March 5th release date.

As expected, we’ve begun to get extended glimpses at the gameplay of Tomb Raider with part one of a series today, where we’re able to witness Lara take cover, shoot, leap, zipline, crash through buildings and generally get into a lot of trouble in her attempts to save her friend and escape a monastery built high into a vast mountside setting.

Catch your breath before trying to catch up with Lara in this jaw-dropping video, stuffed to bursting with punchy action:
