Lara Croft is getting yet another face lift.
The next game in the multimedia Tomb Raider franchise will be a new origins story, developer Crystal Dynamics said Monday.
Aptly titled Tomb Raider, the game will feature "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."
According to the official website, the new Tomb Raider game will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Also, Lara has a bow in the game and there's a ship visible in the background of the first piece of artwork from the title (above). In case that's not enough for you, more Tomb Raider information will be available in the January issue of Game Informer, which will be available for purchase Dec. 11.
Crystal Dynamics, a subsidiary of Square Enix, handled development on previous Tomb Raider games, including the critically lauded Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Since Guardian of Light set out to start a new brand for the franchise, it's safe to say that this new Tomb Raider reboot will be unrelated.
This isn't the first time publisher Eidos has made over the Tomb Raider franchise. With Tomb Raider: Legend, Crystal Dynamics resurrected the series back in 2006. The developer then released Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a remake of the original Tomb Raider. Confused yet? We are.
