Lara Croft Keeps Climbing in New Tomb Raider Trailer

Vertigo

It’s a good job that Lara Croft isn’t afraid of heights. In this brand new Tomb Raider trailer, the legendary protagonist is shown scaling a tower that extends far beyond the clouds. We’re assuming that she’s trying to better David Blaine’s insane New York stunt. All of those native folks with bow and arrows are merely obstructing art.

I haven't been following this much but I'm assuming this is going to be a prequel with how young she looks? I never really got around to playing the Tomb Raider games back in the day but this looks awesome.

@Splat It's a complete reboot. It's supposedly set before her globe-trotting adventures — but the idea appears to be to ground her as a person. I agree that this looks amazing, I'm just worried about the development team pandering to the backlash that the game's faced in the US media.
