Crystal Dynamics has announced it is now developing the next TOMB RAIDER on Unreal Engine 5

 

[zeorhymer]

We going to have sexy back?

 

[//DEVIL//]

They just started ?? Ffs this gen gonna sucks waiting for big games on unreal engine 5. See you guys in 2025

And no. I don't count ps4/Xbox one games on ps5/series x a next gen games . Including halo and horizon forbidden banana

 

[chorizosausage#3774]

Back to basics please

 

[cormack12]

Get in. Loved those games. Fuck the haters.

 

[kingfey]

Don't make it bad like avengers.

 

[Dick Jones]

I cant wait for this release.
Quality AAAA studio here.

Actually am happy for this. Hopefully no GAAS mechanics like Avengers.

Finally have realistic fucking targets SE

 

[Punished Miku]

Fine with me. All good games. There's room for improvement.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Take a guess how they will change Lara Croft's face in this one now.

 

[Captain Toad]

I've had enough of these roboot Tomb Raider B-tier movie games. Go back to being Tomb Raider instead of trying (and failing) to be Uncharted.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I really liked the first two games. The third was still good but just wasn't as good.

Looking forward to a new series if it's a continuation.

 

[Jennings]

Hopefully they do away with Quicktime events. I love pillaging.

 

[Kuranghi]

Take a guess how they will change Lara Croft's face in this one now.

Shrek Lara gonna sell bonkers you know.

No man jaw, no buy from me.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Remake anniversary in UE5 and you have a winner.

 

[GymWolf]

I liked the first 2 but the third one didn't had nearly enough combat for my taste, i hope they find a better ratio between combat and puzzles/exploration.

Also better writers...

Not surprising. Avengers was released just a year and a half ago. Then they were contracted to assist The Initiative with Perfect Dark since they've been having employee retention issues. So they were probably doing that while working on a pitch for a new Tomb Raider.

 

[roosnam1980]

no big tits , no buy

Via Unreal Engine 5 presentation:

I suggest to include the original source instead of Doritos Pope in the OP, and also to mention that they just stated to develop it (so won't be released in the coming years):

 

[SnapShot]

awesome

I've had enough of these roboot Tomb Raider B-tier movie games. Go back to being Tomb Raider instead of trying (and failing) to be Uncharted.

i think they really did that with shadow of the tomb raider , they really added alot of tombs and some of them were really challenging

 

[Papacheeks]

How big is CD? They are making Perfect Dark too right? Or is there more going on and that project is now dead?

 

[kiphalfton]

Played the first and second games, and although I enjoyed them both quite a bit… the gameplay loop of upgrading stuff and crafting got stale. Actually I think those soft rpg elements are in every game now, maybe that's why it got old? In any case this new game needs to put Tomb Raider back on the map.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Nice. I really enjoyed the reboot trilogy.

see you in 2030

yeah im good

 

[Darsxx82]

It makes a lot of sense.

PerfectDark is UE5 too and both are co/developed by CriystalDinamics. It would have been a distraction an inefficient to work on different engines

It is clear that both developments are going to feed back and there, maybe, the beneficiary (on grade of optimization sense) may be XSeries X/S (specially the XSS) ？.

I love that this came from a latex entushiast website

 

[sircaw]

Did not play the last one, but I liked the 2 before it.

Looking forward to it, when it eventually gets here

 

[Markio128]

I haven't completed any of the most recent Tomb Raider games because they are so far removed from what I loved about the originals, so not greatly thrilled by this news. In fact, the only element that I enjoyed was the brief VR mode.

300 or something.

This is probably really early so the bulk of the studio won't be needed yet i guess.

 

[Matt_Fox]

This will be a GRAPHICAL MONSTER.

Looking forward to it, but probably a long way off still.

ps. ditch Jonah and the other friend zone chumps, and let Lara loose with the quips and bad ass attitude.

The raytracing on that latex is top notch. UE5 is a beast.

 

[reksveks]

the concern troll post is kinda funny

that plastic bitch is ugly as sin................
this is what im talking about

Hang on, Crystal Dynamics announced over a year ago they were developing the next Tomb Raider. Think today's announcement is just that they're doing so on Unreal Engine 5.

Next Tomb Raider game in development at Crystal Dynamics

The next game in the Tomb Raider franchise is in development, but will not be announced in the near future. Square Enix plans to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary all year with retrospectives, “nostalgic content”, and more, while Crystal Dynamics begins work on Lara Croft’s next big...

So hopefully not 'quite' so far off.

 

[TGO]

I'm actually excited to see NextGen Lara
Not so much the game she'll be in, CD has gone a bit woke.
I just want some one on one time with Lara in a Tomb no bullshit story & shitty characters

 

[Fbh]

While I enjoy the games I'm hoping for a bit of a soft reboot.
I like a lot of elements in the new Tomb Raider (The awesome visuals and the puzzles in particular) but the new Lara has always been so boring and unlikable, besides Shadow of the Tomb Raider sort of finished her story arc.

They just started ?? Ffs this gen gonna sucks waiting for big games on unreal engine 5. See you guys in 2025

And no. I don't count ps4/Xbox one games on ps5/series x a next games . Including halo and horizon forbidden banana

UE5 games are probably going to start to come out right in time for Ps5 Pro and Series XX.
The current consoles are the cross gen machines

 

[Ristifer]

I'm actually excited to see NextGen Lara

Yeah, I bet you are.

I just want some one on one time with Lara in a Tomb

Yeah, I bet you do.

 

[Belthazar]

Hopefully it's actually Lara this time, not the Generic White Female #480 they used for the reboot trilogy

 

[Tarkus98]

How big is CD? They are making Perfect Dark too right? Or is there more going on and that project is now dead?

Isn't Microsoft making Perfect Dark internally? Perhaps I am thinking of something else.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

So they are helping with that MS game, still working on Avengers (lol) stuff...and now Tomb Raider?

This isn't coming out before 2030...

 

[kyliethicc]

 

[Varteras]

Isn't Microsoft making Perfect Dark internally? Perhaps I am thinking of something else.

The Initiative has been having issues retaining employees. So Microsoft and Square Enix agreed to have Crystal Dynamics assist them with development. It sounds like they're doing the heavy lifting for now until The Initiative can get more people internally.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Awesome news. Tomb raider is one of my favorite franchises and the reboot trilogy was great. Good to know CD is back to helm a new game. Can't wait for this.
