Last Thursday, Square Enix announced plans for their next game with their action character Lara Croft but the first to not have the name "Tomb Raider" in the title. Now Gamespot has revealed the first concrete details on Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. And it's looks like it will be unlike any previous Tomb Raider games ever released.
The preview reveals that the title will be a top down isometric game designed for two player co-op. Players will control either Croft herself or a new character, the Mayan tribesman Totec as they run through various locations (including, yes, tombs) to deal with enemies, traps and more. It's basically an old fashioned 1980s arcade title but with modern graphics supplied by developer Crystal Dynamics. The game will be available for download later this summer but no specific platforms were announced.

This feels like a handheld/PS2/Wii sort of thing. I belive there's still a proper, new Tomb Raider game coming. A reboot, with a Soul-Reaver style Metroidvania open-world.Posted at 6:33PM on Mar 6th 2010 by asfm



Croft or Totec? Why couldn't they give us the choice between Croft and palette-swapped Croft instead?Posted at 5:22PM on Mar 6th 2010 by Covarr
