'DOWNFALL' IS NOT A TOMB RAIDER GAME

[ 1 July 2010 ]

Rumours of a new Tomb Raider game named 'Downfall' - due for release during Christmas 2011 - have hit many video-game web sites. In the wake of a lull in actual fact-based news, many journalists are suggesting this is the next big Lara Croft game. It is not.

Downfall was a non-Tomb Raider idea developed by Crystal Dynamics some time ago. The title never made it much further than conceptual stage. Crystal Dynamics are indeed working on two Lara Croft-helmed adventures at time of writing, those being Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and a continuation of the Tomb Raider series.
