The cover artwork for the upcoming Tomb Raider game, which restarts the long-running series, has just been revealed to the world.

Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have been working on the upcoming reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise for quite some time and pledged several times to create a new version of the protagonist, Lara Croft, who isn’t as sexualized as previous incarnations of the heroine.

Now, the two companies have presented the box art for the upcoming game, via Facebook, and it boasts quite a tasteful rendition of the newer and younger Lara Croft.

As opposed to previous covers of Tomb Raider games, which merely focused on Lara’s various assets, this one shows her in a survival setting, emphasizing the new type of gameplay that’s offered by the upcoming game.

The Tomb Raider reboot is out on March 5, for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Until then, you can expect to hear a lot more about the adventure title.
