artists at KO_OP to deliver a new Lara Croft GO chapter

have joined us in celebrating The Year of Tomb Raider,"
said Rich Briggs, Global Brand Director at Crystal Dynamics.

20 years later it's exciting to pay homage to this legacy
by bringing Lara Croft GO to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation
Vita first."
