Lara Croft is back in a new addition to the treasure hunting/adventure series entitled Rise of the Tomb Raider. In this installment, Lara sets out for an intense search to find a cure in order to save the life of a close friend. Developers, Crystal Dynamics and BradyGames, also revealed that there is going to be a prequel to the game, and a graphic novel titled The Ten Thousand Immortals.

The game is based off a comic book written by Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent. It shows Lara in the midst of trying to save her friend from a toxic ailment, the summary reads: "Desperate for a remedy, Lara searches for anything that could help Sam. A wisp of hope arising from a myth gives Lara purpose: the story of an ancient and mysterious artifact that could heal her dying friend, and possibly help explain the supernatural events she witnessed on Yamatai."

The graphic novel is set to release on October 2014 and is expected to bridge gaps between Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Fans were surprised to witness a debut trailer of Rise of Tomb Raider at the recently concluded E3 last June 10 to 12 in California. Though the video did not feature any gameplay, the location and setting are completely new in comparison to previous games.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available sometime in 2015 for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC.
