This would be the studio’s third AAA entry in the series since its reboot in 2013.Crystal Dynamics, which took a break from the series after 2015 to develop Marvel’s Avengers, made the announcement in a post on Twitter, which calls out to developers experienced with the Unreal Engine to join the team. “We're thrilled to announce the next TombRaider game will be developed on Unreal Engine 5,” the reads.

After launching Rise of the Tomb Raider in 2015, Crystal Dynamics parted from the series to work on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel’s Avengers, a games-as-service-style game based on the popular comics series from Disney. (Eidos-Montréal launched the latest Tomb Raider game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, in 2018.) Since then, the Square Enix-owned studio confirmed it is co♔-developing a Perf♚ect Dark reboot alongside The Initiative, the original team behind the shooter series. It would appear Crystal Dynamics will be working on both Perfect Dark a♕nd this untitled Tomb Raider game simultaneously.

Last year, Epic and Warner Bros. partnered to create a playable trailer and UE5 demo for The Matrix: Resurrection🌊s called ♛The Matrix Awakens, which launched exclusively on PlayStation 5. Epic’s mega-hit Fortnite also moved to Unreal Engine 5 earlier t💙his year.
“Crystal Dynamics is proud to be a part of the launch of Unreal Engine 5,” said a Crysta𒐪l Dynamics lead in a video posted on the official Tomb Raider account. “This new engine translates into next-level storytelling in game-playing experiences.”
