Either playing solo as Lara, or working together in up to four player co-op, players explore the temple, defeat hordes of enemies from the Egyptian underworld, solve devious puzzles, and avoid deadly traps. All the while, players will compete for treasure, powerful artifacts, and ultimate bragging rights.

Take Your Adventures on the Road: Tomb Raider Reloaded Launches Globally on iOS and Android Devices https://www.crystaldynamics.com/blog/2023/02/14/take-your-adventures-on-the-road-tomb-raider-reloaded-launches-globally-on-ios-and-android-devices/ Tue, 14 Feb 2023 15:53:43 +0000 https://www.www.crystaldynamics.com/?p=15604

The latest addition to the storied franchise takes the legendary Lara Croft on a swan-diving, cliff-climbing, back-flipping expedition to the small screen

As part of the celebration of Lara Croft’s birthday, CDE Entertainment, the 12th operative group of Embracer Group AB, today announced that Tomb Raider Reloaded® (made in collaboration with developer Emerald City Games) is now globally available on iOS and Android mobile devices via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Tomb Raider Reloaded has concurrently launched on Netflix and is included with all memberships without ads or in-app purchases.

Tomb Raider Reloaded allows players to jump back into the boots of groundbreaking adventurer Lara Croft in an action-filled quest to obtain the ancient Scion artifact, clearing ever-changing rooms filled with new and familiar enemies as well as hazardous traps and puzzles. Along the way they’ll acquire run-specific abilities alongside permanent rewards like new gear, collect resources to help improve Lara’s stats, and unlock new outfits, such as her fan-favorite bomber jacket. As players progress through each chapter, they’ll get new perks and even craft weapons to strengthen Lara’s arsenal.

WATCH THE TOMB RAIDER RELOADED LAUNCH TRAILER

Reprising her role as the voice of Lara Croft is the inimitable Keeley Hawes (Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris). Tomb Raider Reloaded, the first roguelike title in the franchise, takes players through iconic series locations including the City of Vilcabamba, the Lost Valley, and St. Francis’ Folly—all at the tap of a thumb. To ensure a high degree of authenticity and quality, the game has been crafted in collaboration with award-winning AAA publisher, developer, and franchise owner Crystal Dynamics, and features memorable characters from the previous Tomb Raider games including Winston, Anaya Imanu, and the duplicitous Werner Von Croy.

This connection to the series’ heritage is cemented by the game’s score, which includes grandiose orchestral recordings of classic Tomb Raider themes. Adding variety to the gameplay are daily and weekly challenges on rotation, events such as Temple of the Sun—where players must stand their ground against multiple waves of enemies—and additional modes such as Tomb Exploration that yield extra treasures for each milestone reached.

Reimagined Tomb Raider Box Art Set Created by Legendary Artists Now Available for Charity Fundraiser https://www.crystaldynamics.com/blog/2022/02/15/reimagined-tomb-raider-box-art-set-created-by-legendary-artists-now-available-for-charity-fundraiser/ Tue, 15 Feb 2022 18:38:34 +0000 https://www.crystaldynamics.com/?p=10171 Sale of Limited-Edition Prints to Benefit Girls Make Games Scholarships.

As a part of Crystal Dynamics’ ongoing effort to encourage under-represented communities to join the game development industry, the company today announced a charity drive in collaboration with Girls Make Games, celebrating 25 years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft’s birthday.

Available exclusively from the Square Enix Store, gamers can purchase a complete set of 15 prints of reimagined Tomb Raider box art created by legendary artists from around the world for a limited time for only $49 (plus shipping and sales tax). All proceeds from the sale go to Girls Make Games, a program dedicated to inspiring the next generation of game designers, creators, and engineers.

Artists were chosen to ensure a diverse array of styles and were given full freedom to reimagine the series’ box art, resulting in Lara Croft portrayed in comic, anime, whimsical, realistic, and surrealistic styles.

“No matter the genre or medium, as a pop-culture icon of 25 years, Lara Croft is instantly recognizable throughout this incredible art series,” said Scot Amos, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “Girls Make Games is an amazing program and we are proud to partner together on this charity fundraiser. Our hope is that it will translate into hundreds of girls getting the chance to attend Girls Make Games summer camps, workshops, and other outreach activities.”

Among the accomplished and supremely talented crew of artists were Marvel Studios’ Visual Development Supervisor Andy Park, legendary Japanese artist, character designer, and illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, and Overwatch graphic novel artist Babs Tarr, and Crystal Dynamics’ own Art Director Brenoch Adams, who kicked off the initiative with his take on the original Tomb Raider’s box art and followed up with an original version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary. All 14 artists crafted unique takes on the box art for each game through their own lens, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.

Participating artists include:
