Massive Tomb Raider Leak Teases Phenomenal Changes to Protagonist Lara Croft

Lara Croft is one of the most memorable, iconic gaming characters ever created. Since her first appearance more than two decades ago, she’s gone through a lot of transitions in various installments under multiple Tomb Raider titles.

However, when it comes to the next Tomb Raider game, Lara Croft fans might witness a totally new iteration of their beloved protagonist. At least that’s what appears to be the case right now, going by a major leak.

New Tomb Raider title will see an experienced Lara Croft

The Tomb Raider franchise is now under a new publisher, Embracer Group. The latter had acquired Square Enix Montreal, Eidos Montreal, and developing studio, Crystal Dynamics earlier this year from Japanese publisher Square Enix. It was worth $300 million.

The leak was shared on Reddit, claiming that the new game is currently code-named ‘Project Jawbreaker’. Moreover, it will feature an experienced Lara, helping out a team of other raiders for whom she’s an inspiration. Simply put, the new game will probably avoid all the previous storylines of the character and will make her a more mature protagonist, to say the least.

This leak was previously shared by Melonie Mac on Twitter, who got the intel from reputed insider notaxation.

Notaxation got access to this information from an alleged voice actor script. The leaked script also revealed the casting for Lara Croft, who is an athletic British voice actress in her 30s and is 5’6″ tall.

Moreover, the early report also claims that the next Tomb Raider game will show Lara struggling with her loneliness. She will then encounter a group of people and will eventually make a team while being their leader.
