Tomb Raider: Legend
By 2006, the Tomb Raider franchise was not enjoying the respect and admiration it had once enjoyed when the series first began on the PlayStation. The previous Tomb Raider game, Angel of Darkness, had been met with largely negative reviews and it seemed Lara Croft’s glory days were over. That was until Tomb Raider: Legend came along.
Legend was the first Tomb Raider game not to be created by Crystal Dynamics and instead the task was given to Core Interactive. It was do or die for the Tomb Raider franchise, and Core Interactive knew it. To the relief of fans everywhere, Legend was a big success and breathed life back into the franchise. Given the recent success of the Tomb Raider reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider, it may seem hard to imagine that were it not for the good folks over at Core Interactive, the Tomb Raider franchise may have died over a decade ago.
