So we don’t really continue directly from the Crystal games, or the Core games, we take everything that has come before and try to present it in the most modern and relevant way we can. The hope is that once you do experience that, it feels like a fresh take on the core inspiration that came before us. So it’s understanding what we still need to be true to, but then allowing ourselves to look at through new lens…so we are presenting Lara as a more relatable human, and we are evolving our gameplay types. We tried to play that balance where this is still Lara Croft, still a brilliant, driven, athletic, archeologist on amazing adventurers. Yeah, it is very difficult especially with a brand that is as well-known as Tomb Raider that when you make this commitment to change…you want to still be true to what is important to people. Did you ever think this could be a problem having fans to relate to significant changes in an iconic character? DmC is a prime example where fans have been up in arms about all the changes Capcom has made. So, the idea is…we won’t necessarily tell of the same stories again, but we are celebrating our history, our universe and our character.įans are little touchy about changing their favorite characters. She really does start to grow into a hero and become a Tomb Raider. So even over the course this game, you see familiar elements from previous games, you will see Lara start to step into some of those things, as much she starts maybe…vulnerable at the beginning of the story. Having said that, to continue the story forward, one of the things that’s fun is to celebrate the Lara as a character, and Lara as a universe. Yeah, I mean we did want to sort of clear the late in order to tell the story from the beginning we had to say ‘don’t assume that everything that has happened before has necessarily happened’. Was that ever a thought when you were designing this game? When it comes to origin stories, fans can learn new things about a character’s past that could change the perception of the previous games or make them interpret those events in a new light. And so we started with that general goal and we realized that in an origin story was really the best way to show people who Lara was. And…what we wanted to do this time around was introduce you to…a Lara Croft that was human, and take you on an adventure you have never been on before. In some way, she had gotten to a point where she was so powerful, so rich, so accomplished, that she could never loose, she could never fail and similarly, people started identifying her in a very…surfaced way that she was dual-pistol’ed and brave.

Well, we just started with the idea of making it different, and part of that was looking at Lara Croft as a character. What was the thought process that went behind this decision? But to do so in a way that is really competitive to the modern games out there.Īs you said, Tomb Raider is a complete reboot exploring the origins of Lara Croft and how she became this great, iconic adventurer. On the fresh side, we wanted to deliver something that people hadn’t seen before in a Tomb Raider game but we also wanted it to feel like Lara Croft and still celebrate the classic gameplay that people love, like platforming, puzzling solving, combat and exploration. Can you tell us what we can expect from the game? Noah Hughes: Our hope is to deliver a Tomb Raider that feels both fresh and familiar. IGN: Tomb Raider is back after a long hiatus.
