Crystal Dynamics Announces Next Tomb Raider

The long-rumored Tomb Raider reboot in development at Crystal Dynamics is finally getting ready for prime time.

Publisher Square Enix announced today that the effort — simply entitled Tomb Raider will chart the origin of heroine Lara Croft, chronicling her struggle as a young and inexperienced adventurer.

As perhaps evidenced by the scathing new look above, Square Enix says this entry will make us “forget everything” we knew about Tomb Raider.

Crystal Dynamics head Darrell Gallagher sheds a little more light on Lara’s rebirth:

Forget everything you knew about Tomb Raider, we are exploring things that have never been done before in this game. This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other.

The next issue of Game Informer, due out on newsstands December 11, will have a 10-page cover story on the title.
