After sparking some controversy amongst followers of the Tomb Raider franchise, Lara Croft’s new design reportedly gained’t even function within the upcoming sport printed by Amazon Video games. What the latest picture confirmed was the “unified” model of the character and never a definitive search for the following Tomb Raider title.
On Feb. 16, the official Tomb Raider account on X (previously Twitter) shared a brand new “unified imaginative and prescient for Lara Croft” with the character carrying the long-lasting outfit from the unique video games. Her look appeared largely impressed by the reboot Survivor sequence, albeit Lara does look extra stern and mature than in these video games. This picture sparked dialogue on-line between followers of the franchise, with some criticizing the design, but it surely appears builders by no means even supposed for this design to function of their video games. Talking for Vandal, nameless sources aware of the upcoming Tomb Raider challenge stated (translated from Spanish utilizing DeepL) that the picture “doesn’t correspond to the design that Lara Croft could have within the [upcoming] online game developed by Amazon Video games.”
The picture shared on the official account is nothing however a “unified imaginative and prescient” of the long-lasting adventuress, because the tweet itself signifies, the Vandal report stated. This implies gamers should wait some time to see Crystal Dynamics’ actual new Lara in motion.
How lengthy the wait will probably be is unknown. Amazon and Crystal Dynamics introduced their partnership for a brand new Tomb Raider sport in December 2022, however particulars have remained scarce and obscure. We’ll seemingly see extra of the brand new title someday in 2024, as there’s additionally a Tomb Raider TV present deliberate for this 12 months. The present is ready to attach the timelines of the older and newer video games (just like the design the builders shared), implying the upcoming sport will do the identical. I can’t wait to see what Crystal Dynamics has in retailer for us, as the most recent three video games are a few of my favourite action-adventures of all time.
