UPCOMING TOMB RAIDER GAME MAY HERALD NEW TRILOGY

[ 4 May 2024 ]

The upcoming Tomb Raider video-game powered by Unreal Engine 5 may be part of a new trilogy from Crystal Dynamics if comments made by Dmitri Johnson during a panel organised by SXSW refer to the Tomb Raider franchise.

"There's a franchise we're working on that I can't get too deep into where we are trying to do animation, live action film, live action TV, a trilogy of games that are being built in Unreal 5 and looking at if there's a way to use assets that are being created on the games side to maybe help expedite things on the live action production side." Dmitri Johnson said during the SXSW panel.

Dmitri Johnson's dj2 Entertainment is producing Tomb Raider The Legend of Lara Croft with Legendary and Tasha Huo, an upcoming Tomb Raider anime streaming exclusively on Netflix, and is reportedly attached to a new Amazon-fronted Tomb Raider film and TV show written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Crystal Dynamics is producing a new multi-platform Tomb Raider title powered by Unreal Engine 5, with Amazon Games providing full support and publishing the game globally. The as-yet-untitled new Tomb Raider game is a single-player, narrative-driven adventure that continues Lara Croft's story in the Tomb Raider series.
