Chronicles reveals four newly discovered, and previously untold adventures, taking you on a journey from the ruins of Rome, to the bowels of a German U boat, to the rooftops of a hi-tech city in a search of four ancient artifacts. Chronicles will have the same game engine as previous TR games with added features. The PC version will include the level editor. The game begins at Lara's memorial service and Jean Yves, Winston, and a priest retire to the Croft mansion and remember Lara Croft. Tomb Raider Chronicles will have 4 adventures that explore Lara's past.
Objectives are clear and the linear nature of each adventure enables goals to be easily identified.
The game engine is modified for graphical improvement and the smoothest gameplay yet. Environments feature increased detail, improved lighting, a greater number of characters and objects plus greater levels of interaction with characters and objects. Greater use is made of the inventory system and more items may be collected to allow greater variation on the 'combine' option. New features include additional moves and miscellaneous animations for Lara plus a wider variety of enemy animations. A 'search' option for Lara is included, enabling her to look through files, drawers etc. and take any items of use.
