A new Tomb Raider project has been detected on the Metacritic page, raising speculations about the future of Lara Croft’s saga. This possible new game, developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Amazon Games, will mark the return of the series after a long hiatus since Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 2018.
The project, known so far as Tomb Raider Next, is supposedly being developed on the powerful Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine, promising high-quality graphics. So far, few specific details have been disclosed, but sources indicate that it will be a single-player game, focusing on adventure and exploration, classic features of the series. Crystal Dynamics is even expanding its development team, hiring new talents to ensure the visual and technical quality of the game.
Speculation is that the new Tomb Raider will be revealed soon, given the constant progress of the project and statements by Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, who said the release is “not far away.” The studio also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the AAA quality of the game, an expectation that has been the norm for the series’ major titles.
More details are expected to be revealed in the coming months, depending on the project’s evolution, paving the way for a new generation of Lara Croft adventures.
