Amazon Games just announced that they’re working with Crystal Dynamics on a new Tomb Raider game. The company is set to publish the game globally while Crystal Dynamics handles its development. The game will be made using Unreal Engine 5 and feature a narrative-driven, single-player experience; a first of its kind for Amazon Games. 

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.

This new announcement comes months after the initial announcement of the game. Aside from being a single-player title, the new Tomb Raider game is also set to be available on multiple platforms. 

Crystal Dynamics is no stranger to creating successful video games. They’ve worked on titles such as Legacy of Kain and, more recently, Marvel’s Avengers. They’ve also made five Tomb Raider games over the years, so they’re quite familiar with the franchise.
