Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis is the next Tomb Raider reboot project, going by alleged trailer leak

Another crofting sim, unless it's fake

You cognize that weird chime that plays erstwhile you find a concealed successful the classical Tomb Raider games? Play it present successful your head. You weren’t live erstwhile those games were published? I hatred you. I hatred you. Also, present you go. Great, present we’re acceptable to speech astir the leaked images of Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis, which appears to beryllium the caller Tomb Raider crippled owed to beryllium announced astatine G-Star K-Dog’s Game Awards amusement tonight. Or astatine least, 1 of them.

The leaked images travel via Resetera, with posters noting that Lara Croft’s airs successful the expected boxart matches her airs successful the teaser for a “future of Tomb Raider” presumption astatine tonight’s festive Keighley-hauling. Hello Resetera users! I work your mean comments astir our champion PC games feature. Spare maine your kneejerk Blizzard fandom, you casuals. Still, each is forgiven arsenic agelong arsenic you support filching alleged videogame titbits from Geoff Keighley's undies.

The screens look to beryllium trailer grabs, and amusement a freshly-revarnished Lara sporting her legendary bluish apical and duplicate pistols. There is minimal grounds truthful acold of the screechy Croft mutilation we saw successful the much caller borderline fearfulness survivalism-themed games.

There is minimal grounds of overmuch property astatine all, to beryllium honest. I confess, I’ve been sitting connected this leak because, frankly, the images look alternatively bland and recycled, to the constituent that I disquieted they’d been AI-generated for kicks utilizing a operation of Lara Croft quality models from assorted generations of Tomb Raiding. Mind you, that could beryllium due to the fact that this is simply a remake of the precise archetypal Lara Croft outing connected PS1, spliced with the look and consciousness of the much caller Tomb Raider reboots nether Crystal Dynamics. Lara’s cogwheel successful the representation surely gives that impression.

There person already been 2 Tomb Raider reboot trilogies, positive remasters of the archetypal six games nether Core Design. Tomb Raider has pillaged itself truthful often I’m not definite caller varieties of Lara are conceivable. Still, delight judge my wholly original, ne'er earlier expressed suggestion: wherefore not, like, fto Lara Croft age? Instead of resetting her each 10 years due to the fact that amusement civilization astatine ample has an organization panic of older women successful enactment roles?

Here is my other, decidedly not archetypal suggestion, inasmuch arsenic I deliberation I’ve written it connected these pages before: beauteous delight Crystal, tin you bash a Tomb Raider franchise soap opera successful which each the assorted incarnations of Lara bent retired successful their mansion and lick mysteries? I've got personalities worked retired for each of them based connected my expertise successful 90s television. OG Lara Croft is the Phoebe, Angel of Darkness Croft is the Joey. Legends and 2013 Croft are Monica and Chandler. Ross gets to beryllium Lara Croft Go and Rachel tin beryllium that Game Boy 1 I've forgotten the sanction of. Look, rotation with it for fuck's sake. This is inactive much convincing than a Croft who can't look to turn retired of her twenties.

Terrible jokes aside, I anticipation Crystal Dynamics marque this work. They've been done 3 rounds of layoffs successful the past year. Best of luck with tonight's announcements, all.
