(RUMOR) - Next Tomb Raider May Go Open World
Lara Crofts next Tomb Raider outing may see the heroine exploring an open-world environment.
According to the rumors section in the latest issue of PC Gamer magazine (via CVG), the next Tomb Raider game will be "set on a Japanese island," with the idea being that players would explore "one cohesive level with multiple ways around the puzzles."
The report also suggests that the adventure will star a younger, less experienced Lara, exploring the characters origins.
Note that this game would be a continuation of the Tomb Raider series that was last explored in Tomb Raider Underworld, and not the recent digitally-distributed spin-off Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
