New Tomb Raider Game Confirmed

Square Enix announced today that Crystal Dynamics is working on a new Tomb Raider title simply titled Tomb Raider.

The new title will cover Lara Croft's first adventure and is aiming to not only give an origin story to the series heroine, but to show the gamer how Lara Croft came about those survival instincts we've seen her relying on for so long.

Darrell Gallagher, Crystal Dynamics' Head of Studio, stated:

Forget everything you know about TOMB RAIDER, we are exploring things that have never been done before in this game. This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other.Details about the game are otherwise scant, but you can keep an eye on the official Tomb Raider site or the Tomb Raider Hub set to launch later today at Game Informer.

This is great! Hopefully it will be a breath of fresh air. I remember reading that the game is supposed to have survival horror elements so I'm really interested how it will turn out.

I played every Tomb Raider game, the first one when I was a child, so I anticipate every new addition with excitement. The last one - Guardian of Light was a pleasant surprise. I hope this one will be too.

Hopefully this will be similar to the reboot of the James Bond movie franchise where the character feels less refined and is a bit more "clumsy" and rough (I'm especially thinking of the opening free-running scene in Casino Royale). Could be interesting if they find a good balance between that and some small measure of finesse.

I'm wondering if they can make her boobs any bigger before she becomes unable to stand vertically, even in a virtual world.

Still, looking forward to the game as I did particularly like Underworld (even ignoring the frontage).

I was so sure that I was done with Tomb Raider years ago, after TR3, but the XBLA Lara Croft game was so awesome, and this sounds pretty damn cool too.

About bloody time she got a reboot to be honest. People seem to forget that the original games were amazing, fun and challenging platformers that weren't just about boobs! Very excited to see what Crystal Dynamics can do with this smile
