Earlier today, Japanese publishing giant Square Enix revealed the next instalment of the Tomb Raider series which will appear in January’s issue of Game Informer. Simply titled “Tomb Raider” the game is being handled by Crystal Dynamics and will follow the adventures of a much younger, inexperienced Lara Croft after her ship is wrecked on the coast of a mysterious island.
After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive
“Forget everything you knew about Tomb Raider,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Studio. “This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other.”
One of the key focuses in the newest Lara Croft adventure is the emphasis on survival, though how this will be integrated into the existing TR gameplay hasn’t been touched on. Here is a cover shot of next month’s GI magazine:

Looking forward to it. I love Tomb Raider games but they were becoming a little stale. Guardian of Light showed us the team aren’t afraid to break the mould and try something new so I’m hoping this is just as good :)

Really liking the look of the new Tomb Raider. Something about reboots excite me, the oppurtunities are massive…
Hope the actualy gameplay sounds exciting too.

I’ve never played a tomb raider game properly as I was too young to understand what to do and ever since I’ve been put off by not being nostalgically attached to the series like others. A prequel means a fresh start and I will see how the game develops and whether it turns out to be something I’d like

I hope it goes back to how the original games were, they were far better imo. And I don’t like the look of the new Lara.

I’m not a big fan of the new Lara either tbh, though it’s only a piece of art.
gazzagb
Yeah, but even so, I would have preferred art of the old version.

The game is rated 18 on TombRaider.com. This should mean that the game can truly be a more deep ‘Tomb Raider’ game.

It’s Tomb Raider, so I will blindly follow!

I’ve never bought a single Tomb Raider game. But if this turns out good then I think I’ll buy it. Fingers Crossed.

I hope they sent Hillary Swank a check for this.
