Crystal Dynamics is moving on from Lara Croft’s sappy origin story and prepping an all-new entry in the Tomb Raider series which will see the iconic heroine return to her more acrobatic origins. And this appears to be our very first look at the character, courtesy of a wallpaper secretly stashed on an all-new Tomb Raider website.
You need to register to unlock the artwork, which is said to unify the look of the original Lara and her rebooted alter-ego. She obviously looks a lot more grounded than the supermodel of the PS1 era, but she’s wearing her customary tank top and wielding her infamous twin-pistols, which is obviously reminiscent of her earlier adventures.

Seems like some of you should have gone to Specsavers.
No thanks. The three reboot games were amazing and she was finally portrayed correctly. Now were back to the vapid joke from before. I guess Crystal Dynamics really likes making games that fail now. And yes, it does look like she has male features.
@get2sammyb I would've said the same thing when I only saw the small image but when I enlarged it, I have to say I agree with him. It's the jaw and the brow, I think. Possibly the thick neck too. The shading around the mouth looks like a subtle 5 o'clock shadow too.
Didn't even know about this. Amazon games? Does this mean you need a subscription to play
