Tomb Raider VII

Tomb Raider VII was the planned sequel to Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. The story was laid out roughly by the writer Murti Schofield.

Plot
Karel survived his encounter with Lara Croft and was transmuted into something new on the vibrational plane. Karel retreated to his stronghold in Cappadocia, Türkiye. The same location where the Sleeper originated, and two other sleepers are still present. In Cappadocia, Karel prepares for the revival of the Nephilim race.

Karel-Nephilim has now been returned to his full Nephilim powers. The Nephilim defense system transports Lara into three illusions from her past: The T-Rex encounter, the plane crash of her childhood, and the pyramid collapse where she was buried alive. After overcoming the illusions, Lara finally battles Karel and destroys the Nephilim installations and plans.

Gameplay
But the emphasis will be on action with puzzles, more classic TR territory. Lara's enemies will include Nephilim, monsters, reactivated guardians of the city and Karel's revived Cabal forces.

Lara will have to fight her way into the underworld through a temple complex and into the subterranean levels including lots of flooded areas. Eventually she would reach Karel's final base, a more hi tech area. His ultimate defence is the three realms or three realities. Lara has to shut down each of her realities by locking a Periapt Shard in some crucial place or stabbing Karel or some other baddy.

Ends with a race to get out of the subterranean levels as it collapses.
