The hero rises

Tomb Raider, also known as Tomb Raider (2013), is an exhilarating action-adventure game created by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. Serving as a reboot to the legendary action-adventure franchise, it intricately reimagines Lara Croft's origins while inviting players to embark on the expedition that will shape her forever.

The journey begins

This game lets players experience Lara Croft's compelling origin story. Tomb Raider introduces her as a young and inexperienced archaeologist during her first expedition. With her friends, she tries to find the fabled lost kingdom of Yamatai, ruled by the mythical Sun Queen. Tragically, their ship is ravaged by a violent storm. Although Croft survives the accident, she is cast away from her companions and left on a remote island. It is not long before she uncovers that this desolate place is home to a group of vicious cultists. As players delve into the game, they will witness her metamorphosis from a trembling young woman into a tenacious survivor, aiding her in unraveling the story behind the Sun Queen.

Fight and explore

Crystal Dynamics significantly changed the combat system. As a result, Lara has the ability to utilize stealth techniques to evade enemies and eliminate them one by one without being spotted. Alternatively, she may perform an all-out attack using her weapons, including a bow, guns, and explosives. As you progress through the game, new options will open. You can improve Lara's arsenal, craft new types of ammunition, and upgrade her skills.

Exploration is a crucial element of any game in the series. Tomb Raider (2013) is no exception; thus, it features vast and diverse landscapes, such as forests, mountains, waterways, and ancient ruins. These varied locations conceal artifacts, augmenting the thrill of your adventure. Moreover, players may uncover optional tombs, which hide puzzles and treasures.

Release

Tomb Raider was initially released on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on March 5, 2013. Subsequently, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were launched in January 2014. Additional platforms, such as Stadia, Linux, and Shield TV, were introduced at a later stage.
