Square Enix, thankfully, realized that their financial problems weren't due to Tomb Raider but instead a mismanaged company that couldn't make a proper profit off a game that sold over 3 million copies. The company posted huge losses for that fiscal year, causing president Yoichi Wada to resign. The game sold 3.4 million in less than a month but that was still below Square Enix's expectations. Regardless, it's great to see that Tomb Raider is getting a sequel. It'll be interesting to see how the team at Crystal Dynamics tries to keep the character from falling into that familiar rut. How are they going to continue her development? The reason the original Tomb Raider series declined was that Lara was this inscrutable superwoman. ![]() Lara's transition into action hero seemed complete by the end of the game (if not sooner than that). ![]() I'm curious where they can really go with Tomb Raider 2.
