That’s according to a script allegedly being used to cast the unrevealed game’s actors, which was obtained and shared by Sacred Symbols (paywalled).

According to the alleged script, the next Tomb Raider is internally known as ‘Project Jawbreaker’, and is described as “an action adventure game set in a modern-day world rocked by a mysterious cataclysm”.

"On this new adventure, Lara will encounter a challenge she can only overcome with a team at her side. Collaboration is foreign to her: she’s always succeeded alone, so in this situation she’s a fish out of water.”

• The internal codename for the next Tomb Raider game is 'Project Jawbreaker'
• It is said to be an "action-adventure game set in a modern world shaken by a mysterious catastrophe."
• According to the casting notes for Lara Croft, a "genuinely British" actress in her mid-30s will be cast for the role.
• Lara Croft will also have "a romantic scene with another female character."
• According to the script, "Lara Croft is at her peak now. Gone is the image of a young, immature woman struggling with her legacy and family issues."
• "Lara has left her childhood behind and fully embraced her life as an adventurer.
• "Typical Ubisoft" structure.
• Four companions, each with their own abilities.
• Open or semi-open world, not clear.
• Lara has a motorcycle to make it easier for players to explore.
• MMO elements.
• Five very typical villains, including a rich man, a mafia boss, and two brothers.
• Famous characters like Jonah Maiava and Curtis Trent will return.
• Lara will have a skill tree with spells.
• The game mixes various trends and genres.

Did the guys do the British accents this time when leaking? They got a lot of shit for it but it is hilarious

 

[Skyfox]

So will this be a tax write off when it fails?

Because I don’t know who’s paying for all these leftist failures.

• Lara Croft will also have "a romantic scene with another female character."

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I wont write it off due to Ubisoft structure to the game. But it better have good level and game design. Their past games did decent in this aspect and hopefully its at least as good.

Jawbreaker for us fans.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Every bullet sounds so universally bad that I have to believe this is fake.

Edit: Wait, this is an Amazon Games joint? Ok, it's probably real.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Wtf does 'MMO elements' mean lol. Well, based on all that I won't hold my breath for something good but let's wait until we actually see it, Lara is special, she deserves the best.

Bomba Raider

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Why does she need a romantic relationship full stop?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

LMAO that bullet list reads like a parody of modern Western AAAA game design

Which mean it's probably true

Oh well, the TR reboot trilogy was pretty decent, we'll always have those I guess

Why change a successful formula

 

[kyussman]

"Project Jawbreaker".........is that from all the pussy she'll be going down on in the game.

 

[genesisblock]

"Project Jawbreaker".. They're that confident, huh?

Fake news.

 

[Pejo]

Wasn't this exact thing leaked like a year ago and proven to be fake?

Yes. But people can’t help themselves and get angry at clearly grifter material.

NuLara defeats the patriarchy.

Has that netflix show came out yet? Im sure its awful

 

[Matt_Fox]

Since the 90s Lara Croft has been the cover girl of gaming. She has had the chance to be the best-known, most-recognisable video game character of all time on the global stage...

Doing a Tomb Raider game with four companions?!?! This is like owning the James Bond IP and doing a game called "the secret agents" with a whole bunch of random MI5 characters vying for screen time.

Please ditch Jonah and the other friend zone chumps, and let solo Lara loose with the quips and bad ass attitude, that's all you have to do to have a hit.

 

[FunkMiller]

Sigh. This is going to absolutely fucking suck, isn't it?

 

[Boss Mog]

Embracer is extremely woke so I expect all their games to be. Tomb Raider and Deux Ex are dead franchises just like Saints Row.

If Sony had spent 300M on Tomb Raider and Deux Ex IPs + Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal instead of 400M on Concord, then things would probably be looking a lot better for both Sony and Tomb Raider.

 

[MMaRsu]

Garbage

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Does Blackrock’s cultural influence money outweigh the lost sales to these publishers?

 

[GrayChild]

Another one to miss. With some luck, this will go the way of AC: Shadows and SW: Outlaws.

Because sony is not extremely woke lol?

Can someone run that list in to an AI image maker?

 

[Exede]

But the real question is, will they do her Bazongas justice? they won´t....

The ones complaining must also be the ones that secretly watch lesbians kissing and licking each other.

Legit reads like satire from a website like Hard Drive or something.

Red flags galore:

• Lara Croft will also have "a romantic scene with another female character."

If this is one of the top bullet points about a game you know you're in deep shit

• According to the script, "Lara Croft is at her peak now. Gone is the image of a young, immature woman struggling with her legacy and family issues."

100% this is about her "struggling with her father stealing treasure from indigenous people

• "Typical Ubisoft" structure.

This is not something you should strive for

• Four companions, each with their own abilities.

????

• Open or semi-open world, not clear.

What do you mean this is not clear? How can it be not clear?

• MMO elements.

What does that mean?

• Five very typical villains, including a rich man, a mafia boss, and two brothers.

O look, all men

• Lara will have a skill tree with spells.

What do you mean, "spells"? She can do magic now or something?

• The game mixes various trends and genres.

What?

 

[BigLee74]

Do not fuck around with Lara or watch your franchise die. Tombs and puzzles please you absolute morons.

 

[pqueue]

What does that mean?

LOOT BOXES. LOTS AND LOTS OF LOOT BOXES
