Tomb Raider 9 News and Concept Art

It's official! Crystal Dynamics is working on a new Tomb Raider game!
Crystal Dynamics released a fact sheet, as well as the three pictures of the concept art for the game when concept art had been leaked from Crystal Dynamics. Their lawyers emailed the site who received the pictures and told them to take it down, but the pictures had already spread.
The game will apparently be M (MA for Australia.)

Here's what the fact sheet has to say:

The Plot - When a sudden storm destroys her research vessel, a young and inexperienced Lara Croft finds herself stranded on a mysterious and remote island hiden of the shores of Japan. Despite several signs of various inhabitants the island is oddly deserted, and an uneasy feeling settles in as strange sounds emerge from the shadows. With only her determination, inner strenght, and resourcefulness to help her, Lara must overcome the challenges of a harsh and unforgiving journey that will take her across a vast island wilderness and deep into the claustrophobic and menacing underground tombs from the island's past. As she struggles to prevail through brutal combat encounters and treacherous exploration, Lara will be pushed to her limits and forced to adapt to her situation in order to survive and escape from the lethal predators that stalk her every move.

Hunt or be hunted - Evade outsmart, track and kill the mysterious enemies that hunt you as prey.

Survival Action - Brutally attack and defend as you fight to survive through visceral one on one melee combat.

Strategic Weapons - Gain an advantage in combat by finding an array of different melee and ranged weapons including a variety of guns and the hunters ultimate weapon, the bow.

Creative Survival - React and adapt to the island by using only that which you can salvage from the environment like climbing axes, rope, and machetes that can be used to unlock new traversal and combat gameplay options.

Free Movement - Scrale up a vertical cliff wall, sprint and leap across a huge chasm, steer mid air to land a misderected jump there is no one right way to traverse, survive, and explore the harsh enviroment of the island.

One Cohesive World - The diverse multi region island is an open playground alive with creatures, weather and natural events.

Origin Story - This new Tomb Raider concept reboots the franchise by exploring the origins of Lara Croft's transformation into a hardened adventurer as unravel the story behind the island's mysterious past.

all good games except angel and darkness big let down and this is given me a baad vibe but who knows whats this is gonna be like hey x

[nicolaswatt]

@Dannishadows Angel of Darkness wasn't a big let down. I don't know why everybody think that way. AOD was a great game, great storyline good graphics only the controls and some glitches were the problem. Crystal Dynamics were a big let down and how they changed the entire game and if this is true it's not going to be very good either.

[flamesdemon19]

This game will SUCK!C.D. cares only how to make collosal boobs for Lara.Not how their games will be like.They have ruined TR and from a badass tomb raider turned her into a spy-like archeologist...I hate them and I hope CORE will take TR franchise back.

[MrShalise]

Crystal Dynamics has been fucking up Lara Croft Tomb Raider.... You can't take Lara Croft out of Tomb Raider.. What's Lara Croft without Tomb Raider? This is such bullshit.... Crystal is just KILLING the Tomb Raider series. BRING BACK CORE!!!!!! CORE DESIGN!!!!

[tombraiderfan1111]

omg love the old lara croft tune.

[SynthySeb]

In a reply to your reply ;) I agree totally. I think angel of darkness had the best storyline of all the tombraider games and moved through the levels brilliant. Being a huge Raider fan I got over the clumsy Lara because the game was great. The new ones need to focus less on making people pass them with no skill and add more realistic circumstances and harder ventures as in you have to hold down the grab button for instance or make a PERFECT jump. It made the old ones a pain but such a reward 2.

[FreddyAce24]

Why can't Crystal and CORE work together! I'd prefer that over only Crystal working on TR! Crystal can do the controls and CORE can do everything else!!! (:

[emily1993blunt]

@nicolaswatt I completely agree with you on the cyrstal dynamics matter! I miss old Lara

[Maudlovemozart]
