It's been over two years since Crystal Dynamics announced the next Tomb Raider game. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 instead of the studio's Foundation Engine, it will be published by Amazon, which also has plans to create an interconnected universe of games, films, and TV based on Lara Croft's franchise.
Perhaps that is why movie insider V Scooper (who has a decent track record when it comes to films, apparently) managed to get some details on the upcoming game.
According to V Scooper, the new Tomb Raider installment will be open world with Lara roaming vast zones with her motorcycle and parachute, and it will be released in less than a year if everything goes to plan.
