Development[edit]
Crystal Dynamics began development on Temple of Osiris in 2013, following the release of Tomb Raider.[2] Nixxes Software provided development support on the game; they had collaborated with Crystal Dynamics on previous Tomb Raider games.[3] In a 2022 interview with Digital Foundry, composer Wilbert Roget II stated that Crystal Dynamics had originally planned for the Lara Croft brand to become its own spin-off franchise from the Tomb Raider IP.[4] The studio completed development in November 2014.[2][5] That month, Valve and Crystal Dynamics organized a contest for people to produce and submit promotional Tomb Raider themed content for the video game Team Fortress 2.[6] The winning items were revealed on 3 December and were implemented in Team Fortress 2 as rewards for people who pre-purchased Temple of Osiris.[7] Contest winners received a selection of titles from Square Enix's catalogue on Steam.[6]
