FULL STORY

A Tomb Raider announcement has been confirmed for The Game Awards 2025,
airing on Thursday, December 11. While it's still a mystery as to what
exactly is going to be revealed, we do know that there will be info on "the future of one of gaming's most iconic franchises".

The Game Awards 2025 recently ran an event in Fortnite , allowing players to visit 10 creator-made islands before casting a vote on which they liked the best. As part of this, a teaser for Tomb Raider was also shown, which you can view (in the linked article) below.

The image shared shows a silhouette of Lara Croft wielding her iconic dual pistols, surrounded by a bunch of mysterious ancient technology. To me, this looks like more of her classic look, but could even just be her Fortnite design. As such, it's hard to say whether the teaser gives any hints at a new direction for the long-running franchise.

Developer Crystal Dynamics announced that it had started work on a new Tomb Raider game back in 2022, though we've not had any updates since. In
addition, the studio has undergone multiple rounds of layoffs, the latest
being just a few weeks ago.

With very little to go on, I'm just hoping that the new Tomb Raider reveal is for a completely new set of games. I loved the Crystal Dynamics trilogy that concluded with Shadow of the Tomb Raider , but I think it's time for a new direction.

Something a bit more arcade-y and classic, with heaps of color and genuine Indiana Jones-style adventures. Please, enough of the gritty reboots.
