Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider were definitely successful titles for Crystal Dynamics, and one of the game’s main staff decided its time to pursue a new challenge.
Lead Writer on Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider, Rhianna Pratchett, decided its time to step away from the Tomb Raider franchise and pursue something new. Crystal Dynamics announced his departure on the franchise’s Twitter, thanking him for his effort with a heartfelt farewell message.
Crystal Dynamics and Rhianna Pratchett are announcing today that Rhianna is off to pursue new adventures separate from the Tomb Raider franchise. Rhianna was instrumental in helping us find Lara’s voice in the 2013 origin story, and through Rise of the Tomb Raider she shaped Lara into the evolving heroine we know today. The entire team thanks Rhianna for her dedication and tireless efforts on the games. Please join us in wishing Rhianna the absolute best in her next adventure.
Pratchett sent out several tweets thanking the entire development team, the studio and everybody at Crystal Dynamics for the good times.
So, I'm packing up my climbing axe plus a little venison jerky for the road, and bidding a fond farewell to Lara. Onwards to new adventures!
