The rumored new direction for Tomb Raider Game would be very different
In case you didn’t notice, it was confirmed that a new Tomb Raider game is currently in development in April. We don’t know much about it yet. However, we already know it is being developed by Crystal Dynamics and will use Unreal Engine 5. It will look shinier, so you can be sure.
However, VGC reported that we now have some details about the plot and premise. This is thanks to an allegedly leaked script shared on Sacred Symbols Podcast. The game codename Project Jawbreaker is an action-adventure title in a modern-day world shaken by a mysterious cataclysm.
The script claims that “Lara Croft has reached the top of her game.” Gone are the days when young and inexperienced women had to deal with legacy issues and family reckoning. Lara has let go of her childhood and fully accepted the life of an adventurer. Lara’s legendary career has been celebrated and published in tabloids. Tall tales of adventure have inspired a new generation of tomb raiders around the globe.
“Lara has accepted her new role in the ruins with this new phase in her life. Lara spent many years exploring the darkest corners of the earth, playing cat and mouse against many evil opponents, and trying to find, preserve, protect and share the world’s secrets. Lara has felt lonely as she reaches the top over the years. Lara is faced with an adult problem at the beginning of this chapter – something that she cannot handle alone.
Lara will face a new challenge on this adventure that she can only overcome if a team is with her. She is not used to collaboration. She has always been a successful individual, so she will be a fish out of the water.
If this is true, Lara could lead a team of new tomb-dwellers. According to Sacred Symbols, the devs are seeking an actress from Britain in their mid-30s who will play her role. She is also expected to have romantic scenes with another female character. We’ll have to wait and see if any of this is true.
