Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Hits Digital Outlets This Summer

Marking a new direction for the Tomb Raider franchise, series mainstay and developer Crystal Dynamics unveiled Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light today. As you can already infer from the game’s title, it stars heroine Lara Croft. Stylistically, it takes quite a departure from previous installments, drawing inspiration from Diablo-style dungeon crawlers with a isometric view.

The basic gameplay elements that make up Tomb Raider will remain intact, however. Exploration is still a prime focus, as is puzzle solving. Players assume the role of either Lara or Mayan warrior Totec in a co-op artifact-seeking jaunt amid the confines of ancient ruins. While playing with a buddy is strongly encouraged, those wanting to trek it solo can. According to a Kotaku eyes-on report, a single-player mode sans an AI-controller partner is due for inclusion.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is slated to hit digital distribution channels on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 later this summer. In line with most high quality digital efforts, it’ll carry a budget price of $15.
