Fans of classic Tomb Raider adventures may be in for a major change according to new details that have surfaced about the forthcoming Tomb Raider game. Word from an industry insider who has provided accurate info before suggests the next entry will move away from linear levels.
In what would be a big departure, it’s believed the new Tomb Raider game will be set within a truly open world environment for the very first time. Players will reportedly have free rein to explore the huge map and tackle tombs and puzzles at their own pace.
India Will Serve as the Open World Canvas
Setting the stage for Lara Croft‘s next adventure is said to be the diverse landscape of India. Its vast scenery will serve as the interactive playground where players can freely navigate the country on foot or via vehicle like a motorcycle. In addition to traditional tomb raiding, challenges will be scattered throughout the open areas.
With its focus on open world gameplay, it seems the new Tomb Raider game aims to breathe new life into the long-running franchise by embracing a more sandbox style of exploration. Fans can hope for an official reveal soon to see if these claims prove true and how the iconic series will evolve going forward in such a bold new direction. Only time will tell what Crystal Dynamics has in store…
