Crystal Dynamics has released a new video related to the 25th anniversary of Tomb Raider and its iconic lead, Lara Croft. Among the video’s community updates, nostalgic content, and other surprises, game director Will Kerslake revealed that the next Tomb Raider game will attempt to merge the timelines of all of the games that came before it, including the original titles from franchise creator Core Design.

SOTTR's story could have been less sappy but the puzzles were fun and the combat didnt suck. And it looked great.
