Concept artwork began circulating throughout the early stages of development, showcasing a number of horrifying, creepy monsters that Lara Croft would have had to face.

Some time after the Legend trilogy ended with Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008, developer Crystal Dynamics started working on a new game: Tomb Raider: Ascension. Now that Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are working on a game to connect the Tomb Raider of old with the more modern, grounded action hero, it's time to look back at that canceled project. There in the dust, as any good Tomb Raider would know, may be a hidden gem (or collectible). Before Square Enix released the widely successful 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, there was another project in development. However, it was ultimately canceled, clearing the path for the most recent trilogy.
