One of the most anticipated games of 2013, which also happens to be one
of the most anticipated franchise reboots in gaming, has shocked gamers
with the conformation of multiplayer modes in the game.Crystal Dynamics global brand director
Karl Stewart has confirmed on Twitter that the Tomb Raider reboot will
feature multiplayer and the details can be found in the latest issue of
Official Xbox Magazine. The magazine, which is of course not officially
available in India but subscribers in the US, will get their hands on it
on the 8 January. So gamers will have to wait until then for the
complete low down.
The Twitter
post says, “OK, so after all the speculation..yes it's true.

The move for adding multiplayer to this
franchise will arouse some fan hate as well as praise. In the past when
Naughty Dog announced that Uncharted 2 would be getting Multiplayer,
fans thought it would be an afterthought and wouldn’t hold much ground.
But the multiplayer was a success. The same can be said for the
Assassin’s Creed franchise when multiplayer was introduced.
At E3 2012, we also got a glimpse of God of War Ascension
but to our surprise, it wasn’t the single player that was debuted, but
the multiplayer. We have had some hands on time with the multiplayer
beta of God of War and we must say, it is a refreshing change. So who
knows, maybe the multiplayer of Tomb Raider wont disappoint us in the
way that the multiplayer of Far Cry 3 did. But we’re just keeping our
fingers crossed.
Recently, Crystal Dynamics releases Tomb
Raider 'Guide to Survival' preview. It shows off some of Lara’s
abilities and the weapons and equipment she will be able to wield in the
game.
Tomb Raider will hit store shelves on
March 5, 2013 for the Xbox 3560 and the PS3. What do you think? Will the
multiplayer of Tomb Raider rise or will it crash and burn? Let us know
in the comments section below.
