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.)
Characters
- Conrad Roth - Captain of the Endurance
- Steph - A female crewmember of the Endurance. The first victim of the scavengers.
- Sam - A female crewmember of the Endurance. Taken hostage by the scavengers early on.
- Matthias - A scavenger who pretends to be not one of the group, he takes Sam captive.
- Dr. Whitman - A scientist on board the Endurance, strangely fascinated with the scavengers culture.
- Raya[citation needed] - Another surviver of the Endurance's ship wreck. She helps Lara out of a trap.
Enemies
- The mysterious Scavengers inhabiting the island.
- Russian speaking scavenger - Some kind of leader of the scavengers.
- Matthias - Kidnaps Sam.
- Wolves - Wild wolves roam the island and attack at any chance.
Features
- Skill Points to upgrade Lara's abilities
- Hunt or Be Hunted: Evade, outsmart, track, and kill the mysterious enemies that hunt you as prey.
- Survival Action: Brutally attack and defend yourself as you fight to survive through visceral one-on-one melee combat.
- Strategic Weapons: Gain an advantage in combat by finding an array of different melee and ranged weapons including a variety of guns and the hunter's ultimate weapon, the bow.
- Creative Survival: React and adapt to the island by using only that which you can salvage from the environment like climbing axes, rope, and machetes that can be used to unlock new traversal and combat gameplay options.
- Free Movement: Scramble up a vertical cliff, sprint and leap across a huge chasm, steer mid-air to land a misdirected jump. There is no right way to traverse, survive, and explore the harsh environment of the island.
- One Cohesive World: The diverse multi-region island is an open playground alive with creatures, weather, and natural events.
- Origin Story: This new Tomb Raider concept reboots the franchise by exploring the origins of Lara Croft's transformation into a hardened adventurer as you unravel the story behind the island's mysterious past.
