Crystal Dynamics reveals details for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog are sharing new details regarding the development of ‘Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis’, a reimagining of the 1996 classic.

In a recent development documentary, the studio introduced Bradley Snedeker as the voice of Larson Conway, a prominent rival in the franchise. The character has been redesigned to offer more emotional depth and humanity, portraying a rivalry with Lara Croft defined by a sense of frustration and a desire for recognition.

Regarding gameplay, developers aim to recapture the sense of exploration found in the original title. Experience Director Jeff Adams stated that the game will intentionally provide less guidance than many modern action-adventure titles. By reducing the use of constant markers and compass indicators, the developers want players to navigate environments more independently, allowing them to get lost and discover unexpected paths through their own observation and effort.
