Crystal Dynamics has a new Tomb Raider game on the way

During Tuesday’s presentation of Unreal Engine 5, Crystal Dynamics was able to reveal that work has begun on a new Tomb Raider game.

The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5, which is now available to the public. Otherwise, however, we know very little about the project, other than chief producer Dallas Dickinson’s promise that it will look great.

“Our goal is to push the boundaries of visual quality and deliver a cinematic action adventure of the high quality that fans deserve from both Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider series,” said Dickinson.

The article continues below the Twitter video.

Details about the platform or release date have not yet been nailed down.

Crystal Dynamics has been responsible for the Tomb Raider series for over 15 years, and has delivered a number of games – including the series’ “reboot” in 2013 and the subsequent Rise of the Tomb Raider. Eidos Montreal took the lead on Lara Croft’s previous adventure, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but now Crystal Dynamics is back.

The developer is also puzzling with a new Perfect Dark game. Crystal Dynamics was originally brought in to assist Microsoft’s The Initiative studio with the work, but rumor has it that the studio has now taken over the project.
