Keighley: 'Rumblings' of new Tomb Raider at GDC photo

According to GameTrailers TV host and all-around man of the industry Geoff Keighley, we can expect a new Tomb Raider reveal as early as next week.

"I've heard rumblings of a new Lara Croft project that's gonna be at GDC," he tweeted earlier today.

These "rumblings" come after Crystal Dynamics art director Darrell Gallagher told Gamasutra that no less than two projects were in the works at the developer. One of them could be (and probably is) the rumored and leaked Tomb Raider reboot. The leaked details pegged the game as an open world adventure, with a survival horror feel.

As someone who's been knee-deep in GDC appointment scheduling, I should probably mention that... yeah, I shouldn't be talking about this. With GDC just around the corner (that corner being this week, "around the" referring to next), we just might have something Lara-related for you soon enough.

Reading fail!

I read Keighley as Knightley and thought, ZOMG Keira Knightley as the next Lara Croft! Reboot indeed!

Alas, I can't read. Somebody ban me from the internet.

Doesn't her arm seem a bit tooooo thin?

Like, "is there any muscle under that skin" kind of thin?

Yeah the proportions are kind of off but I think that's just the artist style or whatever.

Still, I love it. Screw you guys.

That picture right there is already 1,000 times more interesting than anything they could have put out using the current Lara Croft. I know the last game was actually pretty damn good, but that doesn't change the fact that Tomb Raider is still the same shit. Sure, the controls are improved and the "grid" gone, but Lara is still Lara, albeit with smaller boobs and a prettier face.

Shit is stale. Don't know if she's even worth a reboot, but whatever. This looks kind of good. I'd like to see more.

I thought the exact same thing as Miike.

Keira Knightley as Lara doesn't sound too bad...

eww, Resident Lara? no thanks. So they are gonna leave me hanging the way they did with Angel of Darkness? Argh! If this Lara is a total departure of Lara as I know her to be, then you can count me out. Unless it is REALLY good that I can't ignore. But they mess up a lot of crap that don't need messing with don't they.

Please don't reboot it CD. Just start a fresh new story in the current series.

I guess this is going to be a reboot of a remake, or maybe a reboot of a reboot? As the Tom Raider franchise keeps extending it's becoming more and more meta. The first two were pretty okay...

Yes, Uncharted on the xbox. NO seriously if they made it as good as uncharted 2, I would buy it.

Any time i play a Tomb Raider game, it just doesn't feel right. Something about the way the games play just bothers me. Last one I played was Underworld and I couldn't get into it. I think a solid new take on the series could slingshot it back into relevancy.
