Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos said in an interview that it is not necessary to play previous installments of the franchise to play Tomb Raider: Catalyst.
The new chapter sends Lara Croft to northern India and has become the largest in the history of the series. The game is designed so that "players can immediately join the adventure without preparation."
According to him, "this is a complete adventure where the story and characters are understandable without knowledge of past events."
Tomb Raider: Catalyst will offer vast and diverse locations to explore. Amos emphasized that this is the largest game about Lara in the history of the studio, and the team is happy to present it to a wide audience.
