The guys at IO Interactive are such a talented bunch. NH: We actually share a lot of assets between studios. Is that the result of sharing between studios? I saw the use of an Instinct system in the game, similar to fellow Square Enix title Hitman: Absolution. We like playing with the signature Tomb Raider themes from this new angle. We love catering to some of the fan favourites, but we’re not beholden to all of the story points within the series. We are projecting our own Lara, taking this origins story, recreating and her launching her off into a new adventure. There’s not necessarily an assumption it will connect directly to past events. NH: It starts a whole different timeline. Is it going to reference the events of past games at all? You’ll see her grow into the hero figure that fans know and love. It’s a reboot and not directly related to the timeline of Lara as such, but it will touch on familiar elements of her character. So it’s a totally new direction for the series? To be able to distill everything we want to do with the franchise into an entirely fresh take is inspiring. I’ve been at developer Crystal Dynamics for a while now, and we’ve had the pleasure of making a few games starring Lara. Noah Hughes: It’s an honor to be able to not only work with Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, but also to be able to reboot the franchise. How does it feel to be bringing Lara back in an all-new take on the Tomb Raider series? I recently caught up with Noah Hughes, creative director Crystal Dynamics, to explore this new adventure.
TOMB RAIDER LARA CROFT PS4 SERIES
Well, Agent 47 isn’t the only Eidos game star returning to consoles – Lara Croft is also returning (albeit from a shorter absence) in a completely new Tomb Raider that takes the series in a grittier new direction. Earlier this week I posted an interview with the guys from IO Interactive about Hitman: Absolution.
