Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda predicts bright future for the Tomb Raider franchise.
As part of the 20-year celebration of the birth of one of the most iconic female gaming characters, Matsuda delivered a special message to all the fans, telling them his personal favorite moment from the franchise’s history, and reassuring fans that the brand is “evolving more” than ever in the upcoming years.
Regarding what Lara Croft and Tomb Raider means for me: it was in 2009 when Eidos joined up with us. I remember I was very happy with a deep feeling because I could be one of the Tomb Raider team. What is more Tomb Raider than the coolness of Lara? I like Tomb Raider Legend very much, especially the stage of Tokyo. In the boss battle of the stage of Tokyo, it was a good memory that I was defeated by the old guy again and again. Couldn’t bring him down. And Lara was so cool. It was the action adventure, a really impressive game.
Then, the previous title rebooted Tomb Raider and last year, we launched Rise of the Tomb Raider. This year, we celebrate its 20th anniversary. I believe Tomb Raider will be evolving more and you can enjoy playing the new Tomb Raider titles. So I am looking forward to your continuing support for Lara and Tomb Raider.
We recently knew that PS4’s version of Rise of the Tomb Raider wasn’t canceled even with all this silence around it.
