Video: the story behind Tomb Raider: Underworld

Posted Sep 5th 2008 3:30PM by Richard Mitchell

So, we've all seen Lara Croft running and jumping and kicking her way through Thailand (and swimming in the deep blue sea) in her latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Underworld, but why? What is she searching for? It turns out that she's looking for Thor's hammer. In the video above, creative director Eric Lindstrom explains that Norse mythology is the underlying thread of the game. Exactly how Norse mythology applies to Lara's journey into Thailand and South America, Crystal Dynamics isn't saying, but it certainly sounds intriguing. It doesn't hurt that it looks great either. Here's hoping it all comes together.

Oh, man! That makes me really want to play this piece! I just hope the action is better than in Legend.

So the whole "finding her mother" thing at the end of Tomb Raider legend is just being thrown out for a entirely different story? WTF

She still needs to find a way back into Avalon.

Off Topic: Why is this on the 360 Fanboy site but not the PS3 Fanboy site? It is multiplatform is it not?

What's the point of asking when you already know the answer?
