Amazon has announced their collaboration with Crystal Dynamics to make the next Tomb Raider title happen. It was known that a new game was developing, and we were hearing some rumours from time to time. The details are still very brief about the game, but the publisher is certain now. Amazon Games might be failed with many titles with big budgets in the past, but they proved a potential with New World. Amazon Game Studios will now be responsible for delivering the next Tomb Raider title.
Square Enix and Ubisoft delivered the franchise’s previous titles. It seems like Crystal Dynamics wanted to make a change and decided to work with another publisher. There will be conclusions for this release, and we will see them soon.
Amazon Game Studios Is The Publisher For The Next Tomb Raider
The news is announced with a press release including the agreement’s details. According to the information that appeared earlier this year, the game is developing by Unreal Engine 5. We’ve seen this game engine’s power with a few released games and The Matrix: Awakens demo. We will see a lot of games that are developed by Unreal Engine 5 in the future. The release year is unclear, but Crystal Dynamics stated that they will reveal more details for the upcoming Tomb Raider title in 2023.
As we heard this week, Crystal Dynamics will drop the development for Marvel’s Avengers in 2023. That game was another collaboration between Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. We can say that the developer team will have more space to focus on the next Tomb Raider after Marvel’s Avengers drop. It’s been four years since Shadow of the Tomb Raider‘s release; we’re excited to play another game from this franchise. But keep your expectations adjusted because even the main details are a few months far.
