This guide is for the 2013 reboot. For the original game, see Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game. Published by Square Enix, Tomb Raider is the fifth title developed by Crystal Dynamics in the Tomb Raider franchise. As the first entry in a new Tomb Raider continuity, the game is a reboot that emphasizes the reconstructed origins of the culturally influential lead character Lara Croft. Tomb Raider was released on March 5, 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, after a delayed release from late 2012. It is the first game to be published by Square Enix, after the latter's acquisition of Eidos Interactive in 2009.

After the release of Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008, Crystal Dynamics began development of Tomb Raider soon after. Rather than a sequel, the team decided to completely reboot the series, establishing the origins of Lara Croft for the second time, following Tomb Raider: Legend.

An enhanced remake of the game, titled Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, was released on January 28, 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Story

Tomb Raider is set on Yamatai, an island from which Lara Croft must save her friends and escape while being hunted down by a malevolent cult.

Gameplay

Gameplay elements focus more on survival, although exploration is used within the game when exploring the island and various optional tombs. It is also the first game in the series to have multiplayer.
