Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Announced

SquareEnix has stealth announced a sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, in the form of the four player co-op Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris  for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

From the press release:

“After the immensely positive reception we received for our debut co-op adventure  Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, we always hoped that we would find the time for Lara to return in another classic AAA digital arcade title,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios. “We are excited to expand upon Guardian of Light’s legacy with an entirely new adventure, and challenged ourselves to create fun new ways to play. Four-player co-op in Lara’s world combined with Crystal Dynamics’ high production values are being brought to a new generation of platforms and we are excited for more friends to share in the adventure together.”

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris takes place deep in the deserts of Egypt. In her new adventure, Lara must join forces with rival treasure hunter Carter Bell and imprisoned gods Horus and Isis, to defeat the evil god Set. As Lara and her companions fight the elements of nature across the sands and through ancient tombs, they will battle legendary deities and creatures of myth. With the fate of the world at stake, Lara must recover the fragments of Osiris to stop Set from enslaving all mankind.

This was a pleasant surprise for me personally because I quite loved the first game. The fact that this is for current gen only makes it even better. No release date was given, but I’ll be following this one closely.
