Announced at E3 during the Microsoft press conference.

REDWOOD CITY, CA (June 9, 2014) – Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio, today announced its latest title in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Tomb Raider® series, Rise of the Tomb Raider ® . The game will redefine survival action in Holiday 2015.

In her first adventure, Lara Croft® was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider.

“With the power of the new generation, and our proprietary Foundation engine, our high octane action moments will be even more epic. Multiple locations around the world will be filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three times larger than we could achieve before,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios at Square Enix. “Our digital actors will rival CG quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in our gritty Survival-Action style.”

Rise of the Tomb Raider builds upon the formula that made Tomb Raider a success, and features the return of Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft. Camilla will take character performance to new heights as Lara pushes herself beyond human limits and is confronted with what it means to become a hero. Once again, Crystal Dynamics is proud to have the award-winning author Rhianna Pratchett as a key member of the writing team, helping craft a story that delves into Lara’s inner turmoil and motivations in this critical second act of her journey.

Reveal trailer:


Loved the first game and I'm so glad we are getting a sequel.
 
is this just next gen and pc, or are we going to get a crippled game because they want to release it on the ps3 and 360

I wish this fallacy would stop, in most circumstances the studio responsible develops for the current gen consoles, whilst another studio does the PS360 version, this has been seen with Forza Horizon 2, COD:AW.

Either way, from what I have seen so far, there is no news on what systems, although I wouldn't be surprised with a PS360 offering.
 
WUT!?!

:confused:

Think you have the wrong game. :p
LOL yep you are right, for some reason I forgot theres a new new TR, more interested in the one where you raid tombs - TR:Temple of Osiris is what I was commenting on...

Uncharted: Tomb Raiding 2 should still be fun though :p. And agreed stuff like TF show that cross-gen doesnt mean last-gen title pulls down the current gen version

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Fantastic news.. I was never a big fan of the original TR Series but the reboot was utterly fantastic and worth the entire PS+ Subscription on its own never mind the rest of the games you get. Brilliant from start to end and the scene with the old bomber and then the parachute bit was incredibly cinematic.
 
Surely it'll just be a timed exclusive? Such a shame if it doesn't get a PS4 release. I've just finished the definitive edition and thought it was a fantastic game.
 
Shady microsoft moneyhats again.

The game sold over twice as much on PS4 than XB1, and Square-enix still moaned about the sales, so now the game is exclusive to the platform it performed WORST on?

Microsoft must have thrown a hell of a lot of money at them
