The as-yet-untitled new Tomb Raider game is a single-player,
narrative-driven adventure that continues Lara Croft’s story in the
Tomb Raider series. It includes all the elements that have made
Tomb Raider one of the most revered franchises in gaming, giving
players control of the confident and multidimensional hero Lara
Croft in an environment that rewards exploration and creative
pathfinding, with mind-bending puzzles to solve, and a wide variety
of enemies to face and overcome. Crystal Dynamics is drawing on the
power and cutting-edge technology of Unreal Engine 5 to take
storytelling to the next level, in the biggest, most expansive Tomb
Raider game to date. The title is currently in early development,
and additional details will be announced at a later date.
“Tomb Raider is one of the most beloved IPs in entertainment
history,” said Christoph Hartmann, VP of Amazon Games. “Amazon
Games is committed to bringing players games of the highest
quality, from the best developers, across all variety of platforms
and genres, and we’re honored by the opportunity to work with this
storied developer and franchise. Our team is incredibly excited
about collaborating with the talented and visionary Crystal
Dynamics team to bring the next chapter of Lara Croft’s saga to
players around the world.”
“Crystal Dynamics has an extraordinary opportunity following our
acquisition by Embracer to redefine what a publishing relationship
is for Tomb Raider,” said Scot Amos, head of studio at 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. They’re uniquely positioned to rewrite what
publishing and development collaborations are, and we’re eager to
forge this new path together, starting with building the biggest
and best Tomb Raider game yet!”
Crystal Dynamics has developed and published dozens of
award-winning titles over the past three decades, including
globally revered franchises like Legacy of Kain and Tomb Raider.
The Tomb Raider franchise includes more than 20 video games, is
loved by more than 170 million people around the world1, and has
sold more than 95 million copies since the first entry was released
in 1996. The most recent “Survivor Trilogy,” comprised of Tomb
Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015), and Shadow of the
Tomb Raider (2018), garnered more than 200 “Best of” awards and
nominations.
The agreement with Crystal Dynamics marks a further expansion of
Amazon Games’ AAA publishing efforts, which also include Lost Ark
from Smilegate RPG and the recently announced Blue Protocol from
Bandai Namco Online Inc. The upcoming Tomb Raider title will mark
Amazon Games’ first single-player narrative title, following
success with multiplayer titles New World and Lost Ark. To stay up
