It’ll have so many graphics
It would seem to safe to assume that there’s always a Tomb Raider game at some stage of development, but Crystal Dynamics just confirmed it. At the tail end of today’s ‘State of Unreal Engine’ stream, they said that they’ve “just” started work - and in Unreal Engine 5, obviously.
That’s a lot of marketing speak, but there’s no more detail about the game than that. The “just” suggests, well, that they’ve just started work, which presumably means it’s a long way off.
Big games leaping from in-house engines to Unreal Engine 5 is becoming a trend. The previous trilogy of Tomb Raider games were made within Foundation, an in-house engine, and a couple of weeks ago it was announced that the next game in The Witcher series would likewise jump from an in-house engineto Unreal Engine 5.
Here’s hoping the next Tomb Raider game is about more than pushing forward and being occasionally gored. While we wait to find out, you can watch the entirety of the State Of Unreal Engine 5 stream below. The engine is out now, and it’s got graphics in it.
