Tomb Raider: Chaos Rings doesn’t sound quite right. Could work for Hitman though. Or maybe it’s for that Square Enix-Eidos Montreal collaborative project in the works. ‘Tis indeed the season of mystery, innit, SEE?
Toby Gard’s short-lived tenure as Lead Designer at Crystal Dynamics has sent the team hunting for a new guy to take helm. This time though, Team Lara prefers someone who can contribute something entirely new and different to the Tomb Raider franchise.

Quick poll update: As of press time, Lara Croft Way, the proposed name for Derby’s new inner ring roads, has so far garnered over twenty-effin’-thousand votes, which, if you are not so inclined to basic computation, is 97% of the total number of votes for all eight options. But the massive gaming community-slash-Lara Croft fandom-driven poll hi-jacking, the Derby council says, won’t be the sole indicator of the winning road name.
Last July, the Derby City Council asked for suggestions for names for two new stretches of the city’s inner ring road. Now, after four months and over a hundred entries, we’ve a final short-list of the top contenders for Derby’s new road name — and Lara Croft’s one of them, and you, dear reader, can vote for her to go all the way. Here’s how.
To cut it short, “Tomb Raider” is no longer listed as “in development” at Lin Pictures, which it previously was. Dan Lin, head honcho of the production company behind the movie, has previously spilled details about the story, confirming that while there is no actress attached as of yet, the big idea, as it was, had at least been outlined. But that no longer seems to be the case.
As usual, we’ll keep a watchful eye on Lin and co. Wouldn’t do him well should he decide to not put Lara on top priority, would it? Oh, wait, right; who needs Lara when you got Sherlock Holmes and the Justice League?
Toby Gard on marketing Lara Croft: Body language is key. “It’s incredible how much you can communicate through pose.”
Toby Gard may have already left Lara Croft for good, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely gotten over her. In his latest blog entry, Toby Gard gives a behind-the-scenes look at the conceptual stage of the promotional images for Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary. He says there’s a unifying factor to all of them, and it’s this.
Fan concept of Lara Croft as she might appear in Tomb Raider 9. To contextualize, our heroine’s stranded on an island in Japan, alone. Them oversized Japanese trousers must’ve been lying around, and now she’s wearing them to keep her from the cold. An ornate set of bow and arrows is strapped across her chest — perhaps another useful find on the island to fend off blood-sucking midnight lurkers?

Back in August, Square Enix global president Yoichi Wada shared plans of “having a Square Enix team create computer-generated movie scenes for major Eidos titles.” Now, three months later, the plan, it seems, is pushing through.

Her face. Lara’s face. Look at it. Now, cue “She”. Yep, Nicobass did it. Pulls it off yet again.
It’s been said that a mouse slip led to Lara having an above-average breast size, increasing the original intended pair by 150%. Here’s how they would look like had Toby Gard slid the mouse across his desk. As deviously posted by batwolverine.
