New Tomb Raider Game Announcement Confirmed for The Game Awards 2025

The official announcement for the next Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics has been confirmed for The Game Awards 2025. This highly anticipated reveal will air during the event on Thursday, December 11. This new entry comes after a long wait for fans, as the previous title, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, was released back in 2018.

Development and Future Plans

Crystal Dynamics had previously announced in April 2022 that a new Tomb Raider title was in active development. The studio is moving away from its proprietary Foundation Engine and developing the game using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5. Amazon Games is set to publish the title. The new game is part of a larger plan by Amazon, which also purchased the movie and TV rights, suggesting the creation of an interconnected cinematic and gaming universe for the franchise.

Rumors and Related Projects

While official details about the game are scarce, an older rumor from May 2024 suggested the game will feature an Indian setting and an open world map where Lara Croft can travel with her motorcycle. In related media news, actress Sophie Turner has been cast as Lara Croft for the upcoming TV series, which is scheduled to begin filming in 2026, with a likely launch in 2027.
