After releasing Marvel’s Avengers in 2020, Crystal Dynamics is back to releasing Tomb Raider games. The developer has now announced it is making a new Tomb Raider game using the recently released Unreal Engine 5.

The official Tomb Raider Twitter page announced that a new game in the series is now in development. The most recent Tomb Raider games used the Foundation Engine, but this new one is using Unreal Engine 5. You can read the full announcement posted down below.

“Crystal Dynamics is incredibly excited about the future of Unreal and how it will help us take our storytelling to the next level. That’s why we’re proud to announce that our next #tombraider game is being built on Unreal Engine 5!”

It is unknown at this stage if this new Tomb Raider game is related to the most recent trilogy. The three recent Tomb Raider games were Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. They featured a younger Lara Croft compared to the older games from the ’90s.

Hopefully, we will hear more from the new game later this year. You can also click here to read more about the recent Unreal Engine 5 presentation.
