Square Enix Ltd. has announced a new Tomb Raider game from Redwood City based studio Crystal Dynamics.
"Forget everything you know about TOMB RAIDER, we are exploring things that have never been done before in this game," said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Studio, Crystal Dynamics. "This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other."
"After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive."
Thus begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.
GameInformer will be highlighting the new game in their January 2011 issue, starting with the cover below, which is sure to get all of the Tomb Raider fans excited.
The new game is apparently being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. No word yet on a release date.
