Tomb Raider 9, which is officially just called Tomb Raider is the upcoming ninth[1] video game in the Tomb Raider Series. It is the chronological successor of Tomb Raider Underworld, but will however not carry on the storylines established in previous games. Tomb Raider will be a reboot of the whole series instead. In the words of Crystal Dynamics' Karl Stewart: "Unlike before, when she used to go [tomb raiding] on purpose, now it's all about getting the hell out." Lara's background history will be slightly rewritten to make it more consistent.
The game will be released for PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 and is set for a release in Fall 2012[2].
Tomb Raider 9 will be rated "M" (Mature), based on the detail of violence discussed in previews.
Storyline
Lara spends much of her childhood visiting archaeological sites around the globe. She later decides against studying at Cambridge University, picking a low-profile college instead.
After finishing her education at the age of 21 Lara joins an expedition on the research vessel Endurance under Captain Conrad Roth, an ex-marine, who is willing to do anything to claim a treasure. When they are scouting the coast of Japan for lost treasures, the ship is caught in a storm and shipwrecks. Lara, stranded on an island, is forced to survive on her own.
(This new storyline resembles to pre-Legend storyline where Lara, at the age of 21, survives a plane wreck on her own.)
Features
- Hunt or be hunted: Evade, outsmart, track and kill the mysterious enemies that hunt you as prey.
- Survival Action: Brutally attack and defend yourself 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 hunter's 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: Scramble up a vertical cliff wall, sprint and leap across a huge chasm, steer mid-air to land a misdirected jump. There is no one right way to traverse, survive, and explore the harsh environment 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 you unravel the story behind the island's mysterious past.
