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 that it would start developing a new Tomb Raider series with a new publisher.
At the time, no details were 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 more concretely through a new publisher announcement.
The new Tomb Raider series was announced through Amazon Games of the Empressor Group, which acquired Crystal Dynamics.
It was revealed that the new Tomb Raider series will be a single-player and narrative-oriented adventure game.
There has been talk of it being a live service or a multiplayer related series, but it seems that we will see the original Tomb Raider once more.
Scot Amos, Head of Crystal Dynamics Studios, spoke of the world of Lara Croft while signing the publishing deal. He expressed his feeling of sharing his creative vision and values with the world of Croft.
And he added that they will be on a new path together, starting with building the biggest and best Tomb Raider game ever.
On the other hand, the platform and release time of the new Tomb Raider series have not yet been released, and it seems that more waiting will be required until the release.
