Still going to call it Tomb Raider though. There is no agenda here though

https://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/headlines4855.html

quote:

British adventurer Lara Croft will transition from being a raider of tombs to a seeker of truth as Evil Hat Productions and Crystal Dynamics seek to redefine the Tomb Raider series in order to escape a history wounded by colonialism, according to an excerpt from the official Tomb Raider Shadows of Truth RPG rulebook.

"Raiding, as depicted in the original Tomb Raider games and stories, involves going to ancient tombs and historical sites of different civilisations and acquiring artefacts. It operates on the assumption of 'finders keepers' that grants raiders with the means and the drive to claim ownership of artefacts, regardless of whether they have any historical or cultural claim to the treasure."



Bonus - Gamers are using AI to invent a better Lara . Next version will probably be a lesbian POC

For frick's sake, that's the character.

Have these people ever read a single piece of literature? It's like they're neutering everything. No wonder every character nowadays is one dimensional and sucks.

One of those strong female leads that they want to ruin. I’m sure when it flops they will blame cis men.

You wish they would out a much effort into releasing a game without bugs and glitches as they do to fighting colonialism

Weird how no one seems to have a problem with this when it's "north Africans" colonizing Europe via illegal immigration.

Somehow it's only a problem when white people do it.

I mean, I could see their point if she was going into a tomb with an existing civilization still intact, taking things from it, then shooting her guide in the face when they asked her to, you know, not?

It's a bit different when she's trying to find the magical MacGuffin that was buried in a tomb of a King of Atlantis to save the world and whatnot.
