Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix.
Tomb Raider is the tenth title in the Tomb Raider franchise, tomb raider game, and operates as a reboot that emphasises the reconstructed origins of Lara Croft. Crystal Dynamics began development of Tomb Raider soon after the release of Tomb Raider: Rather than a sequel, the team decided to completely reboot the series, establishing the origins of Lara Croft for the second time, following Tomb Raider: Tomb Raider is set on Yamataian 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.
Gameplay elements focus more on survival, although exploration is used within the game when exploring the island and various optional tombs. Camilla Luddington was announced to voice and perform as Lara Croft inreplacing Keeley Hawes. After a delayed release from late to MarchTomb Raider received much anticipation and hype.
Tomb Raider sold one million copies within 48 hours of its release, and has sold more than 8. An updated version, Tomb Raider: Definitive Editionwas released in North America on 28 January and in Europe on 31 January for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One containing all features and DLC.
A sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raiderwas released in November Tomb Raider is presented in third-person perspective. Players take control of the series lead character Lara Croft.
The game uses an interconnected hub -and-spoke model that combines action-adventureexploration, and survival mechanics. Many of the players moves are carried over from the previous games created by Crystal Dynamics, with some tweaks added, such as incorporating elements of stealth gameplay.
There is also a character progression mechanic in the game: Alongside the single-player mode is an online multiplayer modewhich allows players to compete in several maps. In the second mode, the "survivors" team must take medical supplies to a specific point on the map, while the "scavengers" must reach a certain number of kills, both within a ten-minute time limit. The island—and the kingdom that once existed there—is shrouded in mystery, given its reputation for fearsome storms and shipwrecks that litter its coastline.
Yamatai was once ruled by a queen named Himikoknown by her honorific title of "Sun Queen", who according to legend was blessed with shamanistic powers that enabled her to control the weather. In exploring the island, the player may find evidence that—among others—Portuguese traders, United States Marines and a Japanese military project were all stranded on Yamatai at various points throughout history.
At the start of the game, the island is populated exclusively by the Solarii Brotherhood, a violent cult of criminals, mercenaries and shipwreck survivors. The Solarii Brotherhood has established its own society based on the worship of Himiko, complete with a social structure and laws, with their exact purpose and intentions being explored over the course of the story.
The player takes on the role of Lara, who is a young and ambitious archaeology graduate whose theories on the location of the lost kingdom of Yamatai have convinced the Nishimura family—descendants from the people of Yamatai themselves—to fund an expedition in search of the kingdom.
The expedition is led by Dr. The game begins with Lara setting out on her first expedition aboard the ship Endurancewith the intention of finding the lost kingdom of Yamatai. The ship is struck by a violent storm and shipwrecked, leaving the survivors stranded on an isolated island.
Lara is separated from the others and captured by a strange, savage man. She manages to escape while her captor is killed as the cave collapses due to her actions. As Lara tries to locate the other survivors, she finds more evidence that the island is inhabited, such as strange carvings, dead bodies, and animal sacrifices. She eventually finds her friend Sam and a man called Mathias, who claims to be a teacher who was shipwrecked on the island.
As Sam tells Mathias the legends of HimikoLara passes out. When she wakes, Mathias and Sam are nowhere in sight. When Lara regroups with the other survivors, Whitman decides to go with Lara and search for the still-missing Roth, while the rest of the group Reyes, Jonah, Alex, and Grim set out to find Sam and Mathias. When the survivors attempt an escape, the captors turn on them. Lara is separated from Whitman and tries to hide, but is found by one of the islanders and forced to kill him.
She fights off the remainder of the attackers and reunites with Roth, saving him from a wolf attack. Lara manages to activate a radio tower and calls for help, but the plane that answers the call is struck by a freak storm, and Lara hears a mysterious voice saying "No one leaves" in Japanese. Unable to save the surviving pilots, Lara is contacted by Alex and Reyes, who reveal that Sam has been kidnapped by the islanders, a violent cult known as the Solarii Brotherhood. Lara tries to rescue her, but is stopped by Mathias, leader of the Solarii, and ordered killed, but she is saved by an attack from samurai -like Oni.
Escaping the ancient monastery where she is taken by the Oni, she hears from Sam that Mathias is going to put her through the "Ascension", a "fire ritual" to find the next Sun Queen that will burn her to death if it is unsuccessful.
Lara follows them to the Solarii fortress and is aided by Grim. The Solarii take Grim hostage, but he sacrifices himself so Lara can escape. She tries to stop the ritual, but gets captured and has her weapons taken. When the fires are lit, a great wind blows them out, showing Sam to be the next Sun Queen. Lara escapes again with just a bow and arrows and reunites with her friends Reyes, Jonah, and Alexforming a plan to rescue Sam and escape.
Aided by Whitman—who has managed to negotiate some degree of freedom with the Solarii—Lara returns to the palace to rescue Sam as Roth commandeers a helicopter to get them out.
Lara succeeds, but persuades Sam to escape by land when she sees another storm gathering as the helicopter approaches. As Lara tries to force the helicopter pilot to land, they are brought down, with Lara nearly dying.
Roth revives Lara, then takes a fatal blow from Mathias meant for her. While mourning Roth, Lara accepts that the storms are not natural, but are somehow connected to the Sun Queen and designed to prevent anyone from leaving the island.
She meets up with her friends Reyes, Jonah, Alex, and Samwho have evaded the Solarii long enough to secure a boat for escaping the island, provided that it can be repaired. They are joined by Whitman, who claims to have escaped, though Lara begins to suspect him of working with the cultists. Lara joins Alex in finding parts for the boat in the wreck of the Endurance. She finds him injured and stuck under some rubble.
They come under attack by the Solarii and Alex triggers an explosion, sacrificing himself so that Lara can escape with the tools. Finding an account of a World War II-era Japanese military and Nazi scientific expedition to the island that sought a way to harness the storms as a weapon, Lara decides to explore a coastal tomb, where she finds the remains of a samurai general who committed seppuku.
As a descendant of Yamatai, Sam is a viable candidate, and Mathias plans to offer Sam as a new host in exchange for his freedom. Lara returns to the survivors on the beach to find that Whitman has betrayed them, abducting Sam and handing her over to Mathias. Lara, Jonah, and Reyes give chase, heading up a river in the fixed boat to the monastery, with Lara arriving just in time to see Mathias trick Whitman into approaching and speaking to some of Stormguards, who kill him.
After fighting her way through both the Solarii and the Stormguard, Lara arrives at the top of the monastery where Mathias is performing the Ascension ritual. Lara fights her way to the central platform, and after a struggle, shoots Mathias off the platform to his death using both his pistol and her own in her signature dual-wielding style. Lara, Sam, Reyes and Jonah then leave the island and are picked up by a cargo ship.
As they sail home, Lara realizes that the mythical stories her father told her were more than stories, deciding not to return home just yet, and the screen fades to white with a proclamation of "A Survivor is Born. UnderworldCrystal Dynamics was split into two teams; the first beginning work on the next sequential pillar of the Tomb Raider franchise, while the second focusing on the newly created spin-off Lara Croft series debuting with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in According to Stewart, the reason for this is that "it would not be right" for the game to simply be ported, as the developers built the game to be platform-specific before the Wii U was announced, and goes on to mention that if they started building the game for the platform "[they] would build it very differently and [they] would build it with unique functionality.

In the Making of Turning Pointsound designer Alex Wilmer explained that the unannounced composer had remotely directed an in-house concert violinist to perform the "very intimate" piece.
In an episode of The Final Hours of Tomb Raider on YouTubethe composer was revealed as Jason Graves. Along with using objects like mallets to create odd musical sounds, Graves, with the help of neighbouring architect Matt McConnell, created a special percussion instrument that would create a variety of odd signature sounds to mix in with the rest of the orchestral score. Although the location was set in the locale of Japan, Graves did not want Japanese instrumentation: Using different percussion instruments in different ways, he was able to create the feeling of "founds sounds".
