Here begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.
•Lara will be 21 in this game (it's a prequel as stated).
•There will be "brutal" death traps, including a "deranged" man stabbing Lara in the chest and a boulder trap that crushes her head!
•Concept art shows a bow, shotgun and pistol as Lara's main weapons.
•Aiming is now free and not locked onto targets.
•The linear paths are gone, with Crystal Dynamics saying the player "can literally go any direction” and “carve [their] own way to the finish line."
•There are "base camps" in the game which act as areas to combine items and improve skills, and also unlock fast traveling.
•You’ll need food and water to survive.
