A new Tomb Raider video game, TBA on PC and Mac, will be released on the 16th of December, 2013. The game will be available in both retail stores and online retailers. This is the first Tomb Raider release since 2009's Underworld.

Players have to help Lara find her friends, solve puzzles, hunt for treasure and fight enemies while avoiding traps set by an ancient race of people who inhabited the island. The player can use firearms but their ammunition is scarce so they have to use stealth to get through the levels without being noticed by enemies. Lara uses melee combat, her signature bow and arrow, and a grappling hook to reach areas players can’t get to on foot. The game is available in three editions. The ‘Lara Croft Relic Run’ is a mobile game that features Lara running through trap-filled ruins across the globe to collect relics. The ‘Lara Croft Go’ is another mobile game that has Lara traveling the world on an expedition through the world’s most dangerous tombs.
