As if The Game Awards wasn’t looking stacked in terms of announcements, it’s confirmed that Tomb Raider will make an appearance. There aren’t many details except for the awards show’s Twitter promising a “look at the future of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises.” However, it indicated that this is “one you won’t want to miss.”
The last major title in the franchise was Shadow of the Tomb Raider, developed by Eidos Montreal. Though very little is official about this new entry, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson alleged that the same development team has been working on a “big” open-world third-person action-adventure title since 2019 – one year after Shadow’s release.
Whether this is the next game in the series or not remains to be seen, but the sequel was allegedly “well into full-scale development” as of January 2023. At this point, a reveal seems well overdue.
Alongside Lara Croft’s future, The Game Awards will feature announcements like The Ascent developer Neon Giant’s new project, Resident Evil Requiem, Phantom Blade Zero, Exodus and whatever that statue ends up being.
