This time, Lara Croft will be on the trail of an ancient artifact of English origin, visiting temples and tombs in Bolivia, Peru, the Himalayas, Africa, and the waterfalls of Ghana, as well as cities such as Tokyo and a military base in Kazakhstan.

Throughout the story, Lara will encounter an enemy whom she believed had been buried and forgotten forever.

As the adventure unfolds, everything will connect and relate to the plane crash in the Himalayas when she was nine years old, accompanied by her mother. She must return to solve the mystery and prevent her enemies from achieving their goal.
