Next Tomb Raider game to be shown at The Game Awards on Thursday

Gaming’s own Geoff Keighly has announced that Tomb Raider’s next entry will be shown off at The Game Awards, this Thursday, December 11th, after winning a fan vote in Fortnite.

In a post on social media, Mr. Keighly stated:

Lara Croft returns at #TheGameAwards! As just revealed in our The Game Awards Vote in Fortnite map portal, tune in Thursday night for a look at the future of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises @tombraider This is one you won’t want to miss.

Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics has faced layoffs in recent months:

The full statement from the team reads as follows: “Today we’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to reorganize Crystal Dynamics’ studios and teams. As a result, we’ve parted ways with just under 30 team members across various departments and projects as we restructure the company and business for our next generation. Crystal deeply thanks all of those impacted for their incredible talent, hard work, and dedication, which helped shape the studio in so many ways. We are committed to offering our fullest resources and support to you during this transition.

To our players – as the realities of the industry continue to evolve, we’ve made these painful choices as a way to optimize the continued development of our flagship Tomb Raider game, as well as shaping the rest of the studio to make new games for the future.

We appreciate the continued support of our players, our colleagues, and our partners during this transition and look forward to sharing the team’s amazing new work with the world in the future.“

It will be interesting to see exactly what title will be showcased this week, and if it is the one rumored back in May of 2024
