Beneath the Ashes begins when Lara wanders into an ancient tomb that lies beneath Croft Manor. Inside rests a secret vault where a puzzling new artefact has been kept hidden by Lara's father for decades. When Lara goes to investigate she senses an evil power pervading this dark and watery mausoleum. The place is flooding too, but that's not all Lara needs to worry about.
Deep within the tomb Lara must dice with torture devices and confront an army of Thralls - zombie-like creatures first encountered in Tomb Raider: Underworld. This time around the Thralls have brought their thuggish 'older brother', a formidable new adversary in the form of Knight Thrall!
Down here the atmosphere evokes the eeriness of 17th Century English dungeons, from which Beneath the Ashes takes its inspiration. Lara's only chance of survival is to work her grapple in ways she's never thought of before. It'll take all your ingenuity to navigate all the way through danger and back, solving puzzles along the way.
After surviving Beneath the Ashes the scene is set for Lara's Shadow, the next chapter in which a new playable character, Lara's Doppelganger, seeks revenge. This compelling creation looks, thinks and acts just like Lara but has superhuman speed and agility. It is also incredibly strong, so you can look forward to practicing hard-hitting new combat moves.
Both action-packed chapters are sure to keep Lara and Tomb Raider: Underworld fans enthralled. Look out for Beneath the Ashes, kicking the New Year off in fine style. And keep your eyes peeled for Lara's Shadow coming soon.
