It's a bad day for Lara Croft stans, because the upcoming Tomb Raider tabletop RPG has been canned.
According to the official announcement by publisher Evil Hat Productions, the project's cancellation is due to "creative differences" because "we couldn’t get our vision to gel with the licensor’s." However, even though the Tomb Raider tabletop RPG is dead, its mechanics aren't. Evil Hat goes on to note that the project is going to be reworked in a standalone setting. If you were excited at the idea of a TTRPG that lets you beat Lara Croft at her own game, that may come as a relief – even if the branding won't be there, the same kind of tomb-robbing hijinks will be. Hey, standing on your own two feet didn't work out so bad for Uncharted, did it?
