Tomb Raider
The next full Tomb Raider is finally announced, with Tomb Raider: Catalyst taking Lara into a bold new direction
There was certainly one title that The Game Awards kept teasing us all with, and it turns out it was Tomb Raider: Catalyst. A new addition to the IP with Crystal Dynamics back at it to see if they can bring the goods as we have seen them do in the past. At least in terms of this IP. They have until 2027 to do so, as that is the current window for Tomb Raider: Catalyst to launch on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. So, that should offer up quite a bit to make sure that Lara feels as close to what we all know, while also trying to push the boundaries forward even further. I'm not sure it was worth all the hype it had during the show, but we have a little more to share that might bring it to the levels we were expecting for a big game reveal that could reshape the future of things in the IP.
This new Tomb Raider title will see Lara Croft on the way to Northern India and adventuring all over the lands. All while sporting a blend between the classic look of the character and the grittier one that many fans will know now. That means that we will also get to see this version of Lara heading into those tombs out there, to find the ancient secrets, solving puzzles, shooting other treasure hunters, and trying to stop yet another cataclysm. How they all stayed unearthed until now, so one knows, but that is the name of the game in Tomb Raider: Catalyst. You can have a look at the fun hype of it all to get a feel for what should be coming in the following video that came out of the show. It is a lot of hype and maybe a little of what we might be able to expect out there when all is said and done.
