He died in the facility afterward accidentally releasing the pathogen, proud that he had created a weapon to defend his homeland. With Sofia and Nadia providing support from a helicopter, Lara tries to find the source of the pathogen earlier an enormous deject is released into the atmosphere and contaminates the Remnant valley.

The women programme to channel the pathogen from 3 towers into the central tower, detonating it and called-for off the toxin. Lara shuts downward each tower, collecting equipment, rescuing female prisoners, and eliminating waves of the infected Trinity soldiers before inbound the cadre tower. While fighting off the infected soldiers, she triggers a catastrophic explosion and jumps from the tower to Nadia and Sofia'southward helicopter. Nadia and Lara watch the explosion every bit they fly to safety.

Bobby Tahouri, known for his work on Game of Thrones, composed the soundtrack.^[20] Development was completed on October 9, 2015, with Crystal Dynamics confirming that the game was declared gilded (indicating that it was beingness prepared for duplication and release).^[21]

Story and gameplay [edit]

When we think near what Lara's gone through, she'due south suffered through these traumatic events, seen friends die, and come out of the state of affairs forever changed ... What she needs is a way to reconcile the hurting that she has suffered and also the draw that she has, this compulsion, to discover more of these things at present that she'south just glimpsed them on Yamatai.

—Game director Brian Horton on Lara's country after the 2013 reboot

One of the game's intentions was to craft a more "personal" experience for players, and the team wanted to explore the journey in which Lara becomes the tomb raider. She becomes determined to uncover more myths, and convinces the globe that they are real at the end of the 2013 reboot; this became her major driving forcefulness in the sequel.^{[22] [18]} Although Lara must still struggle to survive, she is more than confident and competent. The squad tried to find a residue, making Lara more than experienced and competent only vulnerable in crunch and appealing to players.^[23] They hoped that in the story, players could see Lara'southward character progression.^[24] To indicate her hunger for knowledge, the squad adjusted the collectibles; players would learn new languages including: Greek, Mongolian and Russian; unlocking new content and upgrades.^[17] The new crafting system reflects Lara's resourcefulness, and her ability to apply the environs against her enemies highlights her intelligence.^[25]

Rhianna Pratchett found Ascent of the Tomb Raider more difficult to write than the 2013 reboot, figuring out Lara's initial mental country and grapheme introduction. Its bandage was significantly smaller than the reboot, and then more than screen fourth dimension could be given to each character.^[26] To help establish the game's tone and visuals, Crystal Dynamics developed a "rippomatic" (a collection of film scenes). Films included Rambo: Commencement Blood Office 2, which inspired the team about the game's stealth mechanic; Terminator 2: Judgment Mean solar day, whose protagonist (Sarah Connor) and Lara Croft are "burdened with a truth that no one believes". The Edge and The Grey inspired game scenes in which Lara fought bears and wolves. Hanna and The Descent inspired the game'due south bows, arrows and pickaxe, and Aliens vs. Predator and The Day After Tomorrow helped the squad conceive the game'due south tundra setting.^[27]

They worked on improving the story'southward pacing, which Horton idea as of import as the story itself. Several features with gameplay potential simply not plumbing fixtures its context, such as vehicles and an early scene in which Lara battled enemies in a jeep, were cut.^[17] The squad listened to player feedback about the original game and fabricated gameplay adjustments, such as reducing the number of quick time events, expanding the hunting system, and increasing the significance of traversing and stealth.^[25] Cinematic moments and action scenes, designed by an internal squad known every bit OMS ("oh my shit"), were retained in the sequel.^[22] The theme of survival remained the story's cadre, with the team modifying gameplay accordingly; the expanded crafting system required players to use the environments more than.^[24] Withal, Crystal Dynamics avoided making it a survival game; the team felt that it would discourage thespian exploration.^[28] Like its predecessor, Rising of the Tomb Raider has a structure similar to metroidvania; the team wanted players to feel that Siberia is a living, dynamic world, and the game not simply a long sequence of events.^[24] According to pattern director Michael Brinker, the team decided to brand the game less "grindy" than other titles; players would not exist forced to complete whatsoever optional content. The skill-upgrades system was overhauled to include more player options.^[22]

After the developers listened to actor feedback, the game emphasized tomb-raiding more than its predecessors.^[29] According to Hughes, the team analyzed some of the older Tomb Raider titles and distilled their best features while incorporating the reboot's physics-based puzzles. They intended to add together more ancient tombs, making players feel like existent discoverers and inspiring awe. The tombs were made larger than the reboot, and water puzzles (featured in older Tomb Raider games) were included. The puzzles were frequently interconnected, with the team adopting a nested-puzzle arroyo.^[12] Optional tombs were fabricated more meaningful, giving players unique skills and items rather than only experience points.^[17] The difficulty of each tomb slowly increases as players progress.^[30]

Art and music [edit]

The game world was designed to reflect Lara'southward distorted mental land, and the team introduced the concept of "ominous dazzler" to achieve this. The color scheme was vibrant, reflecting the game's large scale. The team was inspired by other video games and fine art, including Russian realists.^[17] They traveled to Yosemite National Park and several locations in Turkey, including Cappadocia, Istanbul and Ephesus, researching Byzantine civilisation and Greek compages to pattern Syria and Kitezh.^[31] The team took six months to create the game's snow applied science (such as snow tracks and avalanches), which helped increase player immersion in the game. To add multifariousness to its landscape, the team introduced the Oasis (with a dramatically-unlike look from Siberia).^[23]

Bobby Tahouri'due south primary goal in composing the game's music was to support its narrative. Tahouri spoke to Crystal Dynamics in 2012 and contracted to write the score in late 2013, delighted to have more than limerick fourth dimension than previous projects. He listened to the earlier games' soundtracks to "immerse [himself] in the Tomb Raider world". The soundtrack was recorded in Nashville by a 52-piece string-and-brass orchestra, including cello, woodwinds, dulcimer and a handpan developed by Saraz Musical Instruments. The Siberian music features an musical instrument similar to a gusli and depression-pitched male singing. Dynamic Percussion System middleware creates music as the game is played.^[32] Crystal Dynamics signed Karen O and guitarist David Pajo to produce the game's theme vocal, "I Shall Rise".^[33]

The game features a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.^[34]

Engineering science [edit]

Camilla Luddington voiced Lara and provided movement capture at a Los Angeles studio over a two-year menses. According to the actress, one of the greatest challenges in voicing Lara was having to "yell over wind and snow".^[35] Luddington trained for the role, with experts teaching her how to concur the weapons.^[36] The team wanted to ensure that Lara's outset game for the 8th generation of video game consoles looked practiced. Spraying Mova fluorescent pigment on Luddington's face, they obtained 7,000 points of reference.^[37] The team had difficulty developing Lara from motion capture, finding Luddington's footage too realistic, and tried to give the young Lara "subtle" facial expressions. They focused on Lara's physical details in cutscenes, where her muscles tensed equally she climbed or her skin became blotchy from the cold. The studio used pose-based deformers to sculpt Lara'southward "verbal shape" as she moved. The team also used contraction maps, assuasive more natural, realistic movement for the character.^[25]

Rise of the Tomb Raider was powered by the Foundation in-house game engine.^[38] The squad used global illumination and physics-based rendering to create calorie-free and shadows.^[5] They used a Horizon WYSIWYG editor, editing text and graphics in a form closely resembling the finished production. The team adopted a "kit-bashing technique", quickly assembling a level with modules and rebuilding it until they were satisfied. To improve the game'south graphical fidelity, the team partnered with Nixxes Software (which ported the Xbox 360 version).^[22]
