Kek Lok Si is a real Buddhist temple complex situated on the island of Penang and is the largest temple of its kind in Malaysia. One of the concepts is titled “Kek Lok Si” and depicts Lara ziplining through a Buddhist temple, heading for a multi-storey pagoda.
No further context is provided but the scenes remind me of Lara’s daring escape from the top of a Hong Kong skyscraper in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life. Two of the unused concepts show Lara jumping off tall buildings in Malaysia, possibly in its capital city Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia was another country that was initially considered but later discarded. This piece may have been created for Legend but it could just as easily have been an early concept for Tomb Raider 2013’s Yamatai.
In it, we can see Lara diving, surrounded by waterfalls, misty mountains, and giant rock-carved statues.
However, the other piece of concept art is far more intriguing.
