Crystal Dynamics is currently developing a new Tomb Raider game, while Amazon Games is preparing to publish it.
The partnership is continuing Lara Croft’s legacy with the technology of Unreal Engine 5. The single-player game will present new challenges, puzzles, opponents, and twists.
“Crystal Dynamics has an extraordinary opportunity following our acquisition by Embracer to redefine what a publishing relationship is for Tomb Raider,” says Scot Amos, head of studio, Crystal Dynamics. “Transformative is what we’re looking for, and with Amazon Games, we found a team that shares our creative vision, ambitions, and values for a Lara Croft universe across the spectrum of possibilities.”
Crystal Dynamics has previously developed famous games throughout the past 30 years, including Legacy of Kain, Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. After witnessing the success of releases like New World and Lost Ark, Tomb Raider’s launch will make this Amazon Games’ first single-player game debut.
No word yet on the release date for the next Tomb Raider game, but if it’s like previous installments, it will likely inspire new toys and collectibles beyond its world of pixels.
