Have you enjoyed the latest adventures of Lara Croft in the recent Tomb Raider reboot? Do you want more of the franchise’s great gameplay? Well, despite having just sounded like I was doing an infomercial for Square Enix, I actually have some good news to share with you folks. Square Enix has just registered a trademark for ’Lara Croft: Reflections’, which is classified as video game software. Here are the details (via the US Patent and Trademark Office):
LARA CROFT: REFLECTIONS
Goods and Services IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038.

Tomb Raider’s sequel appears to be out of the bag this week, and now, Crystal Dynamics’ senior art director Brian Horton, has acknowledged the project during a lecture, and even confirmed that it’s well financed.

t follows the European trademark for Tomb Raider: Reflections. It suggests that this is the title in question. Publisher Square has also confirmed some sort of reveal for early December, suggesting an appearance at the Spike TV VGX awards.

Horton appeared at the UK’s Bradford Animation Festival and accepted questions from the crowd afterwards. Addressing questions regarding the Tomb Raider sequel, he replied, “We’ve announced the sequel… I’m glad I can finally talk about!. The Tomb Raider sequel is the next chapter of [Lara’s] development… her life is changing. She can’t go back to the way she was.”

When asked about the game’s budget – following Square Enix labelling the game a failure earlier this year – Horton replied, “We don’t talk about our budgets… it’s a well financed game. We’re not spending any more on a sequel than on the original game.”
