- The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley says a new Tomb Raider title will be at the upcoming event.
- It is expected to be Crystal Dynamics’ open-world AAA entry, which has been in development for years.
- The game could also be a full-fledged remake of the original Tomb Raider.
Tomb Raider is one of the most iconic gaming IPs, and it hasn’t seen a worthy project in many years. Therefore, the demand for Lara Croft’s new adventures is at an all-time high among gamers, but all that accumulated hype and patience is finally coming to an end.
The Game Awards executive producer and prolific host, Geoff Keighley, has confirmed leaks about a new Tomb Raider entry set to appear at this year’s highly anticipated show.
Multiple Tomb Raider titles have been rumored to be in the cooker for a while now.
Why it matters: The unveiling of a new Tomb Raider project could make this year’s The Game Awards event one of the most successful ones to date, as many other highly anticipated titles are also expected to appear.
On Twitter, Geoff says gamers should tune in on December 11 for the announcement of a new Tomb Raider. The most rumored game in question is Crystal Dynamics’ AAA open-world project set in Northern India.
This ambitious entry has struggled in development for multiple years, with the studio facing layoffs and other problems.
However, work on it has persisted, and new rumors suggested its characters were heavily reworked. Lara Croft is featured at her prime, and the open world boasts multiple harsh biomes, including deserts, jungles, cliffs, and icy mountains.
A notable insider claimed that The Game Awards would unveil a full-fledged remake of the original Tomb Raider, with a launch planned for next year. So, it remains unclear exactly which game out of the two we’ll be getting to see at the awaited event.
Many gamers are also waiting for The Game Awards show to catch the unveiling of the rumored Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, Resident Evil Requiem, and more.
