Crystal Dynamics began development of Tomb Raider soon after the release of underworld
in 2008. Rather than a sequel, the team decided to completely reboot
the series, re-establishing the origins of Lara Croft for the second
time, as they did with Legend Tomb Raider is set on Yamagata,
an island from which Lara, who is untested and not yet the
battle-hardened explorer she is in other titles in the series, must save
her friends and escape while being hunted down by a malevolent cult.
Game play elements focus more on survival, although exploration is
used within the game when exploring the island and various optional
tombs. It is also the first (and so far, only) game in the series to
have multiplayer, the first game in the series to be published by Square
Enix, after the latter's acquisition of Eidos Interactive in 2009, and the first game in the series to be given a "Mature" rating from the ESRB. Camilla Luddington was announced to voice and perform as Lara Croft in 2010, replacing Keeley.
Widely anticipated, the game suffered a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013. Upon release, Tomb Raider
received critical acclaim, with critics praising the graphics, the game play, Luddington's performance as Lara, and Lara's characterization
and development, although the addition of a multiplayer mode was not
well received and some reviewers directed criticism towards the game's. Tomb Raider went on to sell more than 11 million copies as of November 2017, making it the best-selling Tomb Raider title to date. A remastered version, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, was released worldwide in January 2014 for Playstation4 and Xbox one containing all features and DC. A sequel, Rise of Tomb raider, was released in November 2015 and a third and final installment, Shadow of Tomb Raider was released in September 2018.
