We couldn’t be happier to bring this wacky game to life!” Said Mike Jadore, Creative Manager at S2 Games. “We love to let our creativity run wild at the studio, and we tried to show that off in our art style as much as in the choices people will be able to make whilst playing, so we hope you enjoy it!”
As a part of Crystal Dynamics’ ongoing effort to encourage under-represented communities to join the game development industry, the company today announced a charity drive in collaboration with Girls Make Games, celebrating 25 years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft’s birthday.
Available exclusively from the Square Enix Store, gamers can purchase a complete set of 15 prints of reimagined Tomb Raider box art created by legendary artists from around the world for a limited time for only $49 (plus shipping and sales tax). All proceeds from the sale go to Girls Make Games, a program dedicated to inspiring the next generation of game designers, creators, and engineers.
Artists were chosen to ensure a diverse array of styles and were given full freedom to reimagine the series’ box art, resulting in Lara Croft portrayed in comic, anime, whimsical, realistic, and surrealistic styles.
“No matter the genre or medium, as a pop-culture icon of 25 years, Lara Croft is instantly recognizable throughout this incredible art series,” said Scot Amos, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “Girls Make Games is an amazing program and we are proud to partner together on this charity fundraiser. Our hope is that it will translate into hundreds of girls getting the chance to attend Girls Make Games summer camps, workshops, and other outreach activities.”
Among the accomplished and supremely talented crew of artists were Marvel Studios’ Visual Development Supervisor Andy Park, legendary Japanese artist, character designer, and illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, and Overwatch graphic novel artist Babs Tarr, and Crystal Dynamics’ own Art Director Brenoch Adams, who kicked off the initiative with his take on the original Tomb Raider’s box art and followed up with an original version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary. All 14 artists crafted unique takes on the box art for each game through their own lens, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.
Participating artists include:

Expedition Zero, an intense survival horror experience, asks who will hunt or be hunted when it ambushes PC via Steam on Thursday, March 24, 2022. Developer Enigmatic Machines and publisher tinyBuild invites survivors turned stalkers to experience the grotesque voyage’s new demo, showcasing new areas and gameplay features, starting Monday, Feb. 21, during Steam Next Fest.
Explore the frozen expanse of rural Siberia as the last person standing from a scientific survey gone awry. Trapped in an abandoned military research zone surrounded by inescapable walls, freezing life-threatening temperatures, biting blizzards, lack of resources, and hunger soon become the least of the researcher’s worries. Far-fetched growls in the dark reveal a gruesome flesh-eating forest monster and other corrupted creatures hungry for blood.
Avoid a horrendous demise at all costs. Establish new safe points for agonizing moments of uneasy rest, oftentimes the difference between life and death. Run away, become prey, or fight back with a potentially mighty mecha-suit. Loot and craft useful devices and modules to upgrade the suit, transforming it into all-powerful armor against the dangers lying in wait.
Get stronger with each passing day while discovering the weaknesses of the wicked beast to face it in a deadly duel. One of these nights, the prey could finally become the hunter, with the right resources and knowledge.
Survey long-abandoned scientific labs, rural dilapidated houses, forsaken churches, and the frightful forest, examining every nook and cranny to uncover the dark truth about a top-secret military operation and the horrific experiments on animals and humans.
A horror-stricken tale of survival against all odds, Expedition Zero is an extreme experience told with stunning cinematic visuals, bringing one’s worst nightmares to life.
“We created a realistic setting for an immersive–and dreadful–experience capable of petrifying even the most seasoned of horror fans,” said Pavel Necas, Lead Designer, Enigmatic Machines. “Expedition Zero combines elements of exploration, sci-fi, survival, and even sandbox, encouraging outside of the box thinking to help our sole survivor break out of the deadly nightmare he has been stuck in for years.”
Expedition Zero arrives on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on Thursday, March 24, for USD $19.99 / €16.79. It supports English audio only, with English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) text.
