Default Ascension as a future game

I've had a recent idea. Why not let CD/EM make Ascension a sequel to SOTTR!? It's a perfect opportunity to revisit that concept! Ascension never started out as an origin story. It starred LAU Lara in a fresh and new adventure. I'm guessing Survivor Lara would be pretty established and fully developed by that point, so why not seize the opportunity?

Revisiting Ascension is also a perfect way to reinvent the gameplay formula by introducing horse riding or even scaling large monsters. It would also be smart to completely ditch human enemies and focus completely on the supernatural aspects of the game. Maybe make exploration and tomb raiding a MANDATORY mechanic. Have Lara explore different ruins and dungeons to discover fragments of an artefact.

They could just make Ascension a new IP. This would help CD/EM have complete creative freedom without all that baggage provided by a 20 year old franchise. It'd also be nice to avoid the "HURR DURR THIS ISNT TOMB RAIDER!!" comments.

Either way, I want those cool looking monsters to be used

No, thank you. It was way too dark and "horrory" for my taste. I really hope Tomb Raider doesn't go down that path. I think it's already dark and gritty enough :/

As a sepparate franchise it wouldn't work, because it had too many elements present in the reboot era. Unless it'd be like a spin-off with Jonah or something

Ascension started off as part of LAU? That's interesting.

I think it could work. Especially considering how the supernatural comes into play with TR. A full on horror take on the franchise has potential.

Only thing is now that Shadow's taking the franchise towards a more classic, light hearted direction, I wouldn't really want to see them go down a dark path again. At least no time soon.

No. I disagree 200%. If there was anything that could drive me away from TR after all these years, it would most likely if they'd turn it into full horror game. Just nope. Nah. Não. No way Jose!

I wouldn't mind hearing similar music in future games or in Rise.

Very atmospheric:
