Game info
Tomb Raider™ is an upcoming open world action-adventure video game, the ninth instalment of the Tomb Raider™ series developed by Crystal Dynamics
and published by Eidos as a Square Enix Europe asset. The first in a third continuation, the game is set to provide no correlation to the entirety of the previous
entries in the series; a "reboot" that emphasizes the reconstructed origins of the culturally influential lead character, Lara Croft.
Story
Fresh from academy and in search of lost relics, a 21-year-old Lara Croft journeys to an island off the coast of Japan aboard the Endurance, a salvage vessel helmed
by Captain Conrad Roth. Before anchoring at bay, the ship is wrecked by an unforeseen storm leaving Croft separated from other survivors and washed ashore. She
must endure physical and emotional torture in order to survive the island.
Gameplay
The game begins with Croft devoid of any weapons, tools or essentials such as food and water, which the player must search for in order to survive. Sections of the island
are restricted to the player until Lara is able to perform specific physical abilities achieved via a "skill system", or obtained the necessary equipment to advance. At frequent
base camps throughout the world, the player can combine pick-ups to create new items, improve Lara's abilities and/or fast travel to previously discovered base camps to
avoid copious amounts of backtracking. There is a "much larger emphasis" on combat, as instead of using a lock-on aiming system akin to previous Tomb Raider™ this game
will employ a manual "free aim" mechanic.
Voice
Keeley Hawes will not be returning as Lara Croft for 2011's Tomb Raider™, after completing Tomb Raider™: Legend, Anniversary, Underworld and Lara Croft and the Guardian
of Light spanning over four years. The voice part for Croft has not yet been finalized. Crystal Dynamics are trialling dozens of relatively unknown voice actors.
Music
Most similar to music from Tomb Raider™: The Angel of Darkness, fully orchestrated strings follow which are accompanied by percussion. The instruments develop into an inverted
minor derivation of the classic Tomb Raider motif composed by Nathan McCree in 1996, providing an unsettling familiarity.
