“Tomb Raider” Announced By Square Enix

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:
