The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy that kicked off in 2013 was generally well-received by fans and critics alike, but some started to grow weary of the new series’ relentless grimdark tone. Following the announcement Crystal Dynamics is working on a new Tomb Raider, some are hoping for a more lighthearted adventure. Surprisingly, this includes the person who wrote some of the recent dark entries in the series, Rhianna Pratchett. Here’s what she had to say on the subject at the recent BAFTA Games Awards…

We had a really fun time-evolving her character, so I would like to see probably less father issues, and that's coming from me! I like seeing her striking out on her own and really taking some joy in what she does. Because when we wrote the reboot game, she was really on her way to becoming a tomb raider. So she was like proto-Tomb Raider. And all the traits that you associate with Tomb Raider like tenaciousness, bravery, resourcefulness, were kind of bubbling to the surface with her.
