Obviously, the title of the new game gives a certain idea of what Lara’s mission will involve anyway. How exactly the titular Underworld of Lara’s next expedition will tie into this hunt to free her mother isn’t exactly clear, but we did confirm with some of the developers that Underworld will be a direct sequel to Legend and that Zip and Allister will return as supporting characters – albeit in a lesser role. Lara immediately begins hunting for a way to free her mother, driven by both her obsession to unlock these mysteries of the past and her guilt.
Instead, she has been trapped in the mythical realm of Avalon – a fate that Lara herself doomed her to. Lara, who had watched her mother disappear after fiddling with an ancient stone dais and has since been obsessed with antiquities, has discovered that her mother is not dead after all. Underworld picks up the plot where Legend left off.
