Game Chronology:
Tomb Raider Underworld TOMB RAIDER

Tomb Raider (2013), which is officially just called Tomb Raider, is the upcoming ninth[1] video game in the Tomb Raider Series. It is the chronological successor of Tomb Raider Underworld, but will however not carry on the storylines established in previous games. Tomb Raider will be a reboot of the whole series instead. In the words of Crystal Dynamics' Karl Stewart: "Unlike before, when she used to go [tomb raiding] on purpose, now it's all about getting the hell out." Lara's background history will be slightly rewritten to make it more consistent.

The game will be released for PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 and is set for a release on March 5th 2013 [2].

Tomb Raider 9 will be rated "M" (Mature), based on the detail of violence discussed in previews.

Storyline

When a sudden storm destroys her research vessel, a young and inexperienced Lara Croft finds herself stranded on a mysterious and remote island hidden off the shores of Japan. Despite several signs of various inhabitants the island is oddly deserted, and an uneasy feeling settles in as strange sounds emerge from the shadows. With only her determination, inner strength, and resourcefulness to help her, Lara must overcome the challenges of a harsh and unforgiving journey that will take her across a vast island wilderness and deep into the claustrophobic and menacing underground tombs from the island's past. As she struggles to prevail through brutal combat encounters and treacherous exploration, Lara will be pushed to her limits and forced to adapt to her situation in order to survive and escape from the lethal predators that stalk her every move.
Official Storyline


Lara spends much of her childhood visiting archaeological sites around the globe. She later decides against studying at Cambridge University, picking a low-profile college instead. After finishing her education at the age of 21 Lara joins an expedition on the research vessel Endurance under Captain Conrad Roth, an ex-marine, who is willing to do anything to claim a treasure. When they are scouting the coast of Japan for lost treasures, the ship is caught in a storm and shipwrecks. Lara, stranded on an island, is forced to survive on her own.

(This new storyline resembles to pre-Legend storyline where Lara, at the age of 21, survives a plane wreck on her own.)
