REDWOOD CITY, CA (June 9, 2014) – Crystal Dynamics, a
Square Enix studio, today announced its latest title in the
critically acclaimed and award-winning Tomb Raider®
series, Rise of the Tomb Raider ® . The game will redefine
survival action in Holiday 2015.
In her first adventure, Lara Croft® was forged into a true
survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. In the
next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival
skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately
accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider.
“With the power of the new generation, and our proprietary
Foundation engine, our high octane action moments will
be even more epic. Multiple locations around the world
will be filled with exploration spaces that are some of the
most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three
times larger than we could achieve before,” said Darrell
Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western
Studios at Square Enix. “Our digital actors will rival CG
quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and
clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in
our gritty Survival-Action style.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider builds upon the formula that
made Tomb Raider a success, and features the return of
Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft. Camilla will take
character performance to new heights as Lara pushes
herself beyond human limits and is confronted with what
it means to become a hero. Once again, Crystal Dynamics
is proud to have the award-winning author Rhianna
Pratchett as a key member of the writing team, helping
craft a story that delves into Lara’s inner turmoil and
motivations in this critical second act of her journey.
