TOMB RAIDER IS BACK

Exact gameplay details for this new Tomb Raider reboot haven't emerged quite yet, but the image of Lara Croft securing a tourniquet on her battered and bloodied arm with a giant recurve bow strapped firmly to her back confirms that the franchise is headed in a new direction.

For Lara's origin story, Crystal Dynamics have cited a number of influences on the development of Tomb Raider. The origin story of Batman Begins was one, as well as the environments of Uncharted, Half-Life 2's physics, the brutal survival tale of 127 Hours, the mysteries of Lost, and the Eagle Vision of Assassin's Creed.

Check out the gameplay demo.

FORAGING & COLLECTION

In keeping with the theme of survival, Lara will require continual sustenance to survive - kind of like in real life. How much required food or foraging is still unclear, but Stewart allays fears that this could become a simulation game, saying "You’re not going to be picking berries and drinking your own wee in order to survive, but there will be a sense of realism in that she will have to scavenge food to keep herself going."
