The next Tomb Raider game to be announced at The Game Awards

Crystal Dynamics has been working on the next Tomb Raider game for a few years already. As it turns out, the game is now far enough along for us to get the first official reveal. 

Geoff Keighley has confirmed that one of the surprises planned for The Game Awards this year is a first look at “the future of” Tomb Raider, which he describes as one of gaming's “most iconic franchises”.

While we don't know much about the next Tomb Raider game yet, we do know that it will take more inspiration from the classic games in the series.

The timing of this is all a bit strange, as Crystal Dynamics recently underwent multiple rounds of layoffs. Amazon also massively downsized its gaming division, and Amazon Games is still currently signed on as the publisher for this new Tomb Raider game.

KitGuru Says: What are you hoping to see from the next Tomb Raider game? My guess would be that it will tell a new standalone story, disconnected from the previous reboot trilogy.
