Tomb Raider reboot pushed back to 2013
Bad news for fans of Tomb Raider, as it has been announced that the reboot won't be released until 2013.
Darren Gallagher, the head of Crystal Dynamics, had this to say:
When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.
We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.
Tomb Raider will be a reboot of the franchise, and will have no direct collelation to any of the previous games, but instead will just be set in a similar universe with a 21 year old Lara Croft. The game was supposed to have an Autumn release, and is being developed by Crystal Dynamics.
