- Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider has been reworked to improve characters and features a mature Lara Croft.
- The game’s open world features biomes like harsh deserts, cliffs, jungles, and icy mountains.
- Previous leaks revealed that it is set in Northern India and will let you ally with characters for team gameplay.
The multiple waves of layoffs at Crystal Dynamics this year have made fans skeptical about the state of its Tomb Raider game, as there has been no release date announced over the years. The AAA title is being developed using Unreal Engine 5, with Amazon Games as its publisher.
However, a massive scoop by a reliable insider suggests that the project is safe after all. V Scooper on Twitter clarifies that the project has been heavily reworked to improve the characters. Lara Croft is also portrayed at her prime and her career’s peak.
Why it matters: The new scoops confirm that the AAA Tomb Raider experience being developed in Unreal Engine 5 is still alive and well despite there being no mention of a release date for many years.
The trusted insider reiterates on Twitter that the new Tomb Raider title is set in an open world. It will feature biomes like harsh deserts, cliffs, abundant jungles, and icy mountains. Additionally, this will be paired with Lara’s ‘more agile and expressive traversal.’
So, we can expect Lara to be more acrobatic and mature, as the game will also offer more strategic ways to deal with enemies non-lethally. There will also be a motorcycle for traversing around the open world.
Tomb Raider’s story also revolves around forming alliances with in-game characters and learning the importance of teamwork.
The narrative will allegedly be about Lara hunting Ashoka’s mythical weapons that grant conquest power, racing against the Society of Raiders and other rivals to find powerful relics.
Leaks last year also revealed that Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider takes place in Northern India.
V Scooper is a trusted Hollywood leaker who has also been revealing interesting scoops about the Tomb Raider project over the years. Although we suggest taking the report with cautious optimism until official confirmation.
