New Tomb Raider Reboot Confirmed By Square Enix

The rumored Tomb Raider reboot has been confirmed by Square Enix in a press release. The reboot is simply dubbed Tomb Raider.

Forget everything you knew about Tomb Raider,” says developer Crystal Dynamics’ studio head Darrell Gallagher. “This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other.”

The premise, as you might already know has you controlling an “inexperienced” Lara Croft as she crash lands on an island after a storm, leaving a frightened young woman washed ashore on an unknown beach.”

“On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive,” the press release teases.

We can’t wait.

Previously, Square Enix trademarked the phrase “A Survivor Is Born”.

The latest issue of the GameInformer magazine also has a feature on the Tomb Raider reboot.
