The Unreal Engine 5 engine will power the upcoming Tomb Raider game

Crystal Dynamics has stated that it has begun developing a new Tomb Raider game. However, the game’s name and release date are unknown at this early stage of development.

It is known that the new Tomb Raider will be built on Unreal Platform 5, allowing us to make use of the latest advances in lighting and texturing that this engine has to offer to deliver a fantastic experience. This would also spell the end of the Foundation engine, which powered previous Tomb Raider games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Crystal Dynamics is incredibly excited about the future of Unreal and how it will help us take our storytelling to the next level. That's why we're proud to announce that our next #tombraider game is being built on Unreal Engine 5! pic.twitter.com/UFMiWzJAZc

By far, this is not the only game that will be launched on Unreal Engine 5, joining a list of games that includes, for example, the next installment in The Witcher saga, which we can learn more about here, or Black Myth: Wukong, which is set to be released in 2023.

In any case, that’s all we know about the upcoming Tomb Raider installment.
