Tomb Raider is presented in third-person perspective.

A sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, was released in November 2015 and a third and final instalment, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, was released in September 2018. A remastered version, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, was released worldwide in January 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One containing all features and DLC. 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. Upon release, Tomb Raider received critical acclaim, with critics praising the graphics, gameplay, 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 ludonarrative dissonance. Widely anticipated, the game suffered a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013. Camilla Luddington was announced to voice and perform as Lara Croft in 2010, replacing Keeley Hawes. Tomb Raider is set on Yamatai, 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. 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 Tomb Raider: Legend. It is also the first game in the main 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.Ĭrystal Dynamics began development of Tomb Raider soon after the release of Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008.

Gameplay elements focus more on survival, although exploration is used within the game when exploring the island and various optional tombs.

Tomb Raider was first released on 5 March 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the tenth title in the Tomb Raider franchise, and operates as a reboot that reconstructs the origins of Lara Croft. Tomb Raider is a 2013 action-adventure video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary.
