I'd expect them to keep Trinity around, because it makes sense for continuity. However a lot of this series makes no sense already, so I wouldn't be shocked if they vanished absent reason, like Sam did. Story-writing hasn't exactly been a strong point for the Reboot games.

Look back on how many people were fawning over TRU's Doppelgänger's appearance (and the fact she killed Alister, which you could argue that Core Lara would have also done ). |

^ Context mishap. I was talking about TRU's doppelgaenger "beating" TReboot Lara in popularity (at least in regards to her demeanor and appearance), not a death match.

DG kinda made me like Lara more. Kindve took the pressure off of Lara having to be this crazy lunatic asshole in black leather pants. Seeing doppelgänger blow up the house and be a wild bitch made me look at Lara as this graceful elegant reasonable dove of resilience. I had more respect for Keely's portrayal of milktoast Lara because she became the good old underdog.
It's a trope but it's a great one that is still viable. It was a major plot point in "Logan" and that was the greatest xmen movie to date, and it can be argued one of the greatest superhero movies ever made, loved by fans and critics alike. TR has no shame in copying lost, the descent, dark gritty action movies etc, so why stop short of greatness. If it can be done in a new way that fits the reboot universe (and it can) and add something new, I would freaking love to see doppelgänger make a return. |

Actually I love the idea! However, according to my theories Shadow envolves the idea of Lara’s dark side, Trinity and and Black Sun Myth I think it’s going to be part of the plot.

If they give DG an actual personality and make her like this manipulative duplicitous criminal, expertly stirring trouble to accomplish an end goal, like this trinity agent think tank who they ultimately control but is like this rogue/ half AI agent who does what she wants, that would really flesh out the character and bring out a brand new dimension that's never been seen in DG. Then, if Kurtis is introduced as HER sidekick, before Lara and him work towards building an unexpected alliance, so many dynamic subtle layers to those relationships that can unfold.

Well, the leaked concept presented an eclipse which nobody noticed. The hint in Rise places the upcoming game in Central America and there are paintings of what seems to be the Fountain of Youth, which also is the most famous myth in the region the hint was located. Which also involved the black sub myth -I made a whole thread about it- .

I think doppelganger, Natla, Amanda, and whatsoever from the past should stay in the past. Except Lara's traits. I just want it to experience something quite unique, a new history, a new tale, just like every game from the classics that have a different story in each version. But probably that's not happening, cause the family issues made an appearance in this iteration of Lara as well.
