- Crystal Dynamics is hiring a Senior Level Designer to lead a Strike Team.
- Strike Teams polish or fix any game-related crisis and deploy near the game’s launch or official reveal.
- An official reveal is expected during the Summer Game Fest.
The next Tomb Raider game is officially underway. It will be a soft reboot of the franchise, developed by Crystal Dynamics in collaboration with Amazon, which is funding and publishing it.
While details on the project are scarce, a new job listing implies the title may be close to completion. Developer Crystal Dynamics has already begun polishing the next Tomb Raider game.
Why it matters: The last Tomb Raider game was released in 2018, and fans have been waiting for a new entry ever since. Fortunately, the wait won’t last any longer.
Crystal Dynamics is currently hiring a Senior Level Designer for an unannounced game. The description states that the said role will be responsible for “strike teams as a high-impact individual contributor.”
Strike Teams in development consist of a few highly skilled developers who are responsible for polishing the game in its final stages and addressing any problems in development. This may include sorting bugs, testing QA, fixing performance, or nitpicking other issues.
Although the job listing doesn’t mention that the role is required for Tomb Raider, it states that candidates need to “Take ownership of designing levels featuring compelling puzzle elements.” For any Tomb Raider fan, that all but confirms the speculation.
Developers usually deploy Strike Teams near a title’s launch or perhaps before an official reveal to ensure that the game is ready to present. With Summer Game Fest approaching soon, Crystal Dynamics could finally showcase their work on the 12th Tomb Raider game.
Moreover, Rockstar plans to release GTA 6 in May 2026, so Crystal Dynamics will likely launch the new Tomb Raider game before that, either in early 2026 or during the 2025 holiday season.
