Crystal Dynamics has officially unveiled that award-winning games writer Rhianna Pratchett will be serving as the lead writer for the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot.

“Seldom do we get the opportunity to reimagine and reinvent a legend, so getting my narrative hands on Miss Croft was a once-in-a-life-time opportunity. It was going back to the genesis of videogame action heroines and exploring how to make such an iconic character meaningful and relatable for gamers today.” “She has brought a unique perspective to the project and helped us explore the character origins of Lara Croft,” added Crystal Dynamics head Darrell Gallagher. “There is no doubt that Rhianna has brought a depth and credibility to Lara, a heroine who will really connect with today’s gamers.” By Jeff Dunn |
