Lara Croft has been exploring ancient ruins and culling the local wildlife for nearly 30 years now (the original Tomb Raider came out in 1996).
Legacy of Atlantis revisits Lara’s original adventure, including her journey through Peru.
It’s not the first time the classic game has been remade, but Jeff Adams, experience director at co-developers Crystal Dynamics, told me reimagining it was still a “very delicate formula”.
“You have to be very intentful with where you make modifications, but you do so in the attempt to kind of bring it into a modern gameplay space.”
As for why after 30 years people still want to play as the twin-pistoled adventurer, Michał Kuk, Creative Director at Flying Wild Hog, said it was not just about her athletic ability.
“It’s also about the attitude, the energy, the self-confidence,” he added.
