Tomb Raider reboot concepts are rumor no more

According to a post on Kotaku, those leaked Tomb Raider concept images were real.

An attorney from Nielsen contacted Kotaku asking the site to remove its cache of Tomb Raider propaganda, while an attorney with Crystal Dynamics apparently did the same to Four Player Co-Op, the source of the pictures. The photos were leaked without Crystal Dynamics' permission, so the story goes.

Granted, as Kotaku points out, just because the images and accompanying info are real, that doesn't mean this particular Lara Croft face lift will ever see the light of day. Still though, we know something now, at least, and knowing is half the battle.
