Here is everything you need to know about the newest addition to the Tomb Raider franchise published by Amazon Games.

First Published December 12, 2023, 15:37

Tomb Raider is one of the most popular action-adventure game franchises of all time. Ever since the first game debuted on the PlayStation One, fans have been hooked on exploring dangerous ruins, fighting against deadly enemies, and locking butlers in freezers. Not counting the arguable spinoff Arcade title Tomb Raider Reloaded, it has been five whole years since the last mainline Tomb Raider release (that being Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 2018). Needless to say, fans have been sorely missing Lara Croft. 

Thankfully, all hope is not lost. The next Tomb Raider game is in development at Crystal Dynamics Studios and will be published by none other than Amazon Games! This untitled game is stated to be a "single-player, narrative-driven adventure that continues Lara Croft's story in the Tomb Raider series."

This new game is shaping up to be the biggest and most expansive game in the franchise, and we can't wait to get our hands on it! If you are just as excited for Lara Croft's next foray into places unknown, you've come to the right place! This article will cover everything we know about the Amazon Games Tomb Raider title, including release date speculation, gameplay features, leaks, and more!

Update on 12 December 2023: We've updated this article to reflect the latest information about the Amazon Games Tomb Raider title.

Aside from Reddit thread rumors, we are left very much in the dark on this one. As mentioned, Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released in 2018, Rise of the Tomb Raider in 2015, and the reboot Tomb Raider in 2013.
