I have no idea, at this point all I know is that if they kill off Sam then Crystal Dynamics are going to loose more then they will ever gain as Sam is a immensely popular character. Philip Sevy, the artist for the current arc of the comics, even stated that he was contacted by several fans of Sam asking if Sam would live or die before he even had a chance to draw the first issue and that he had a special place in his heart for Sam due to how many fans love her character. Hell Sam is one of the most popular characters in Tomb Raider over in China, and keep in mind that Sam is part Japaneses and China and Japan don't exactly have the best relationship. So for Sam to have a hug fallowing in China is no small feat.

Admittedly he's been trolling the fans with Sam's fate ever since then up to and including "Threatening" to kill her off if fans give him any ideas, saying that everyone in the comics die like in a Steven King novel and out right saying that Sam would die! And his been enjoying doing so far more then he really should be!

And from what I can tell Sam's absence in Rise of the Tomb Raider was one of the criticisms of the game as many, even those who do not ship them, felt that Sam added a lot to Lara's character and wanted to see that relationship further explored.

And finally, for those of you saying that Crystal Dynamics wouldn't do that, that having a LGBT relationship would ruin the series, THE LAST FEW GAMES TO RECEIVE GAME OF THE YEAR AWARD, (The Last of Us, Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Witcher 3 and Overwatch) HAVE ALL HAD CONFIRMED LGBT PLAYABLE CHARACTERS, (Ellie, Ciri, Tracer and half the cast of DAI).
