Lara Croft returns in Temple of Osiris, ready to use her brains and brawn to best a gauntlet of new puzzles. In our second Developer Diary, Executive Producer Scot Amos is joined by Lead Level Designer Jeff Wajcs, who discuss the difficult task of perfectly challenging a player. Take a peek at the mirrors, time bombs, twisting gears, and falling platforms youll need to manipulate to solve your way out of trouble, alone or with friends.

That sucks I think the internet is the cause for store upping the game imo. Gives a reason to go to the store I guess... You won't see me in any of them lol.

Yeah I expected more from the film too. At least it was sort of an original concept rather than a remake or reboot.

Yeah that's exactly why I don't bother with anything like that including social stuff. I have my place right here and I am totally content!

Looks like this when you play. Lara Croft is your default character when you play alone.

The first trailer for the new game shows Lara dealing with the aftermath of her horrific ordeal in the last game, but at the same time she’s drawn into another dangerous conflict.

We will continue to answer what we can week by week and archive what we cant answer yet for future reference. APPROVED TO SHARE ONLINE Q: Who wrote the story of Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: The internal narrative team tackled the story of LCTOO, collaborating with key staff members at Crystal early on to narrow down the setting. They had a lot of fun digging deep into Egyptian mythology and determining the direction to take this adventure. Q: Who designed the cover for Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: Art Director Brenoch Adams took lead on both pieces, with assistance from our creative agency Volta. Q: Who are the voice actors for the secondary characters? Anyone wed know? A: For the English version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, weve welcomed back classic voice actress Keeley Hawes as Lara Croft. Additionally, Dorian Lockett voices Carter Bell, Rae Wright as Isis, Jack Tilden as Set/Horus, and our own Brenoch Adams stepped in as Osiris! Q: How many hours of playtime can we expect in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: The game length truly depends on your play style, but you can expect a playtime on par with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, with lots in the way of replayability thanks to the Overworld, asymmetric co-op, challenges, and DLC tombs. Q: What does Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris add in terms of replayability? A: There are lots of reasons to replay the game, be it completing challenges, playing through with a new set of friends, trying out the asymmetrical co-op, seeing how puzzles differ when playing solo, and so on. Also, competing with friends to secure the higher score. And, if youre a completionist, there are hundreds of items of various rarities to find, the more you play, the more the rarest items (rings, amulets, and weapons) will become available. There are achievements and trophies dedicated to you completing every challenge, which will keep you coming back for more. Q: Will Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris be available on the Mac?

APPROVED TO SHARE ONLINE Q: Will Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals be localized in different languages? A: Brady Games is currently investigating the potential of localized versions of Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals and will share more information when it becomes available. Q: What’s the function of the Overworld in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: The Overworld was influenced by our learnings from Guardian of Light. It’s a central hub that allows you to easily replay any of the tombs to complete challenges, farm gems, or tackle an area with different friends. The Overworld also gives us a platform for expansion – more tombs will become available in the future as DLC. Q: How does the weather system work in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: Changing weather will allow you to access areas of the Overworld that were previously blocked off, such as a flooded area icing over and creating a path. The weather system will also affect tombs, in that elemental enemies will spawn dependent on the current weather system. We’ll chat more about this in the future. Q: Are challenge tombs back in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris? A: Yes! They were a fan favorite from the last game. The fact that they aren't critical for story completion means we can have more fun with them. Q: Will the cutscenes in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris be digital or drawn, such as in Guardian of Light? A: Both – we’ll use the comic-book styling to introduce you to the setting of Temple of Osiris, but also feature in-game cinematics to move the story along. WEEKLY UPDATES Studio content this week.

LCTOO Hands-On GamrReview: “Four Player Griefing with Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris "Puzzles are a big part of the game still, and they become progressively harder when more people are playing by featuring more intricate sections or an increased number of obstacles. Like the previous game, many puzzles require teamwork and a combination of the treasure hunters' abilities and gods' powers in order to be completed. One of the puzzles that the demo showed featured the return of the giant boulders used heavily in Guardian of Light. Different kinds of spheres are used this time around that add additional elements to puzzle-solving, such as flaming and exploding boulders, and it does look like they are a huge part of the game once again." ShackNews: "Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Hands-On" "Revealed for the first time at this year's New York Comic Con was the fact that the game supports an overworld that connects all the tombs together. There's a central hub where players can restock on ammunition, pick a tomb, and head towards it. If you're unsure where to go, using the staff will cause various statues to point the way for you. The overworld map looks pretty expansive, and the developers promise that more tombs will be added to it as future DLC is released."

For those unaware.... Meagan left in April for a new job abroad in Ireland. We’re incredibly excited to share some big news with you – and to welcome a very special person back to Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider community! --- Hi everyone, I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’m returning to Tomb Raider and the Crystal Dynamics family as Senior Community Manager. While my time abroad has been an incredible adventure, I've missed the community dearly and am extremely happy to have been welcomed back to the team. I’ll be taking up post at the studio this week, and am eager to catch up on both Temple of Osiris and Rise of the Tomb Raider so we can flesh out big plans for the community. After that, regular updates across our suite of social channels, forums, and fansites will resume. Can’t wait to be back, Meagan

That's some cake! Happy birthday Gia!

Crystal reveals why ‘Temple of Osiris’ is launching on PS4, Xbox One and PC only "For us, it was a matter of focus, it was a matter of setting the type of experience, the type of fidelity we wanted to bring, upping everything from both quality standards and how these characters look in game," says Amos and adding, "From effects and atmospherics, the reactive surfaces, real-time reflections, all of this stuff and amping it up to four player [was important]." Any time you have the tools to offer the best experience, you jump on it. Rather than porting a version from the previous generation to the new generation with some enhancements, the better experience would come from developing directly for the new hardware.
