Rise of the Tomb Raider launch trailer features an original song by Karen O

‘I Shall Rise’

Recommended Videos

Rise of the Tomb Raider is just a couple weeks from launch (for the Xbox One at least), so naturally we can expect a launch trailer to keep the hype train rolling. This one comes with an extra tidbit of news, past the new bits of story revealed. Karen O, frontwoman for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, has produced an original song for Rise of the Tomb Raider titled “I Shall Rise.”

It has an almost James Bond quality to it, where I can picture naked silhouettes swimming around while listening. Not only is “I Shall Rise” featured in this trailer, it is also a part of the game’s soundtrack, appearing somewhere along Lara’s journey.

Karen O’s previous major contribution to video games was having one of the most fun low-level Rock Band songs to play on drums.
