The Tomb Raider demo I played started with a wounded, hungry Lara Croft trying to reunite with her friends.

Battered and hungry, Lara Croft spots a bow tied to a dangling corpse. In Tomb Raider, players have to climb on to a building and hop on to a tree branch.

Lara Croft will grow in Tomb Raider because you get XP (survival points) for doing just about everything.

Award-winning writer, Rhianna Pratchet, is penning the Tomb Raider reboot, Crystal Dynamics have announced.

Crystal Dynamics introduce Camilla Luddington, the new actress who plays Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot.

“Well, naturally, they’re action-adventure, OK, so there’s going to be some comparison,” says Crystal Dynamics Studio Head, Darrell Gallagher. “I don’t think we can get away with that.”

At Microsoft’s E3 media briefing, Crystal Dynamics showed off a new playable look at their Tomb Raider reboot.

Square Enix have announced a new release date for their Tomb Raider reboot: March 2013.

“We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve.”

The Tomb Raider studio is hard at work on a second project.

This video shows how the Tomb Raider trailer was made with staff from Visual Works explaining their vision and process for creating CG movies.

While there are no plans for future SaGa or Mana titles, Square Enix is interested in reboot other series. The topic came up when an investor asked if there were plans to release titles from formerly popular series.

While resting and recovering from wolf attacks, Lara can also enhance her abilities. A menu pops up with options like salvage, which is essentially Tomb Raider’s form of crafting.

Square Enix brought Tomb Raider to E3 and showed the title behind closed doors with a hands-off demo. The game’s opening began with Lara hanging upside down in a cavern. Fire from red candles sitting on an altar was the only source of light.
