An untitled Tomb Raider game is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Amazon Games. It is intended to be part of the Tomb Raider series.

Development edit

During the 25th anniversary celebration of the Tomb Raider franchise in 2021, Crystal Dynamics announced their intentions to "unify the timelines", and create a brand new Tomb Raider game that would combine elements from all three series, including the work of Core Design. In this timeline, Lara Croft would be a seasoned adventurer.[1] In April 2022, Crystal Dynamics announced that a new instalment was in development and will be developed on the Unreal Engine 5.[2]

In May 2022, Square Enix and Embracer Group entered into an agreement for Embracer to purchase several assets of Square Enix Europe for $300 million, including developer Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider franchise among others, with the deal expected to be completed in the second quarter of Embracer's financial year.[3][4] The acquisition was completed on August 26, 2022, with the assets being held under CDE Entertainment.[5] In December 2022, it was announced that Amazon Games would publish the new Tomb Raider game.[6]
