After inheriting the series from original developer, Core Design, and working it for half a decade, Crystal Dynamics have rebooted Tomb Raider and the character of the Lara Croft, providing her with a new origin story in their latest game, which is slated for release in March.
The new game, simply titled “Tomb Raider,” begins with Lara shipwrecked on an island in the Dragon’s Triangle, off the coast of Japan. Lara and the rest of the ship’s crew, who are all scattered about various areas of the island, need to find a way to survive the island’s threats, and make their way off it.
We had a chance to speak with Crystal Dynamics creative director, Noah Hughes, about the new game, how it’s different from the old ones, how it’s similar, and also the subject of Lara herself. In this first part of our interview, Hughes shares us why Lara was rebooted, and just what kind of character the new Lara Croft is going to be by the end of the game.
