The newest episode of the Tomb Raider Final Hours series has released, and this, my friends, is the beginning of the "End of the Beginning."

In Episode 5 Part 1 (which you can see below), you'll find Levi speaking to the developers behind Tomb Raider as they try to wrap up production just before release. Check it out, and while you're at it, check out the recent "Monastery Escape" gameplay footage and Tomb Raider contest while you're at it.

Are you getting amped for the return of Lara Croft? Let us know how psyched (or displeased) you are with the development of the upcoming game--which is set to release to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on March 05, 2013--in the comments below. And as always, stay tuned to DualShockers.com.
