Developer Crystal Dynamics has announced that they’re currently working on a new Tomb Raider game on Unreal Engine 5.
During the State of Unreal event, Franchise General Manager Dallas Dickinson revealed that the team has “just started development” on a new entry into the long-running action-adventure series starring the dual-wielding badarse Lara Croft. Running on Unreal Engine 5, Dickinson stated that “Our goal is to push the envelope of fidelity, and to deliver the high quality cinematic action-adventure experience that fans deserve from both Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider franchise.”
Where will Lara Croft’s journey take her next?

We weren’t shown any footage or concept images, so it’s likely that we’ll be waiting a while before hearing more, but this announcement is exciting all the same. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was the last entry into the series, released back in 2018 to a warm critical reception.
