Every villain is the hero of their own story, but what if the hero becomes the villain?
Obviously in the first game she was a naive young girl.
I feel like, in the second game, you see her have tunnel vision for Trinity.

In this game, she continues with that; she continues to have that tunnel vision.
In this game, she is even more obsessive.
It goes from her being hunted to her being the one doing the hunting.
Its interesting to me because, in this game, she kind of loses herself in the obsession.
What does she stand for?
What is she fighting for?
Thats kind of what we see in this game.
Does that mean she will cross some lines that she wouldnt have in the past?Yes.
You could almost understand the villain in our game, understand that he could possibly be the hero.
She definitely crosses lines and lines she never intended to cross.
She feels like shes lost herself.
Was it hard for you to reconcile some of Laras actions while doing the voiceover?Yeah.
Whenever I jump back into a game, they take years to make.
I feel like I sit with her for a long time on her journey in any of the games.
Of course, she doesnt.
As much as I hated it, its realistic, people make mistakes.
I think she needs it in the game to make it have some sort of character growth.
Are we going to get more information on her father in this game?Yes.
Anything you’re able to tease?
[Silence]
Fine!
Have you played the game yet?
What surprised you the most?I havent played the game.
Im still actually doing the game.
Once it gets locked down, then I get to sit with it.
Ive definitely seen moments.
Its my favorite game by far.
The ending is, I believe, very powerful.
It got very personal for me.
I think the ending was the most intriguing part of the game for me.
Im sorry I have to be so cryptic.
Is this the end of her story?Is it the end of her story?
Theyre marketing it as her becoming the Tomb Raider, basically.
This is the end of that journey to becoming the Tomb Raider.
But I dont think there will ever be an end to Lara Crofts story.
But thats an interesting question.
Shadow of the Tomb Raiderwill be released on PC,PlayStation 4, andXbox Oneon Sept. 14.
