After the rights to Crystal Dynamics and Tomb Raider were sold to Square Enix, the future of the Tomb Raider series was uncertain, but earlier this year Crystal Dynamics announced it would begin developing a new Tomb Raider series with a new publisher.
At the moment, no details have been revealed other than the announcement that it would be produced using Unreal Engine 5, but last night it was announced that the next Tomb Raider series would be developed in a more concrete way through a new announcement from the publisher.
The new Tomb Raider series was announced via Amazon Games of the Empressor Group, which has acquired Crystal Dynamics.
It has been revealed that the new Tomb Raider series will be a single-player, narrative-oriented adventure game.
There has been talk of a live service or multiplayer-related series, but it looks like we’ll be seeing the original Tomb Raider again.
Scot Amos, Head of Crystal Dynamics Studios, spoke about the world of Lara Croft during the signing of the publishing deal, expressing the feeling that he shared his creative vision and values with the world of Croft.
And he added that they will embark on a new path together, starting with the creation of the biggest and best Tomb Raider game ever.
On the other hand, the platform and release timing of the new Tomb Raider series has not yet been released and it seems that more waiting will be needed until the release.
