About:
The Tomb Raider Encyclopedia is a massive document that contains in depth detail on everything that has happened and everything that exists in the Tomb Raider franchise. We've broken down the different elements of the games, delved into past of sponsorships and endorsements and so much more!
As with any encyclopedia, there is also a section called the 'Ready Reference', which contains basic lists of what makes up the franchise as well as graphics and other details that can't make it into the encyclopedia.
For the Second Edition, we've included other documents - a documents collecting all the relics of the Reboot games, complete with description. Sadly, this will be the final release as the Encyclopedia and Ready Reference document have become so big and strenuous on Microsoft Word that it now crashes, the documents become faulty and some entries have even gone missing. Thank goodness we kept frequent back-ups!

History:
2012
The year we started creating the encyclopedia. It began with jottings on paper on how we were going to layout the pages, what was going to be included etc.
2016
We decided to release the encyclopedia for the 20th anniversary of the franchise. We teased it in April 2016, released more imagery with a FAQ in May with the intentions of releasing it on 25th November 2016. And that is exactly what we did - although not without flaws.
On the 1st of December, we were showcased on the official Tomb Raider tumblr, which was incredible!
We released various updated versions up until the end of the year, some we just subtly released, with Version 1.5 currently being the most up-to-date so far.
2021
We've been constantly adding new entries and doing ongoing fixes and edits and are now ready to share with everyone the Second Edition.

Special Thanks:
We can't create a page on the encyclopedia and not mention a few thanks:
Lucas - At Raiderdaze for taking time to read at least half of the encyclopedia and send us emails on grammatical errors. It must have taken almost as much time writing that list of errors as it did reading through. Some are quite shockingly embarrassing on our behalf so we are grateful for the chance to make it better. Thank you! Cezar - At World of Tomb Raider who actually printed out the encyclopedia with ready reference. It really is quite an honour that someone wanted to print out something that we had worked on. We're just sorry that it was filled with errors. Also thank you Cezar for allowing us to include some imagery from your website - (logos for those mobile games). RaidingtheGlobe, Core Design and Raiderdaze for featuring us on their websites. This extends to anyone else who also did so that we may have missed. And to everyone who has downloaded the encyclopedia, shared it, liked it and reblogged it. It means a lot that it received the attention that it did. |
