Studio head Darrell Gallagher explained to fans in the blog, ”When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
”Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013,” Gallagher then announced.
Crystal Dynamics also announced in the blog post has announced that Tomb Raider will be shown off at this year’s E3 2012, and included the above screenshot.
