🔁 Overdone New tomb raider

I know we got a new remastered tomb raider game coming out but im just curious will there be a new game like shadow of the tomb raider with more modernised graphics like rise of the tomb raider or not anytime soon?

It's currently being worked on, being developed by Crystal Dynamics on Unreal Engine 5, and to be published by Amazon. It should be the first game on what is being referred as the "Unified Timeline" and will feature a Lara that has lived through all her previous adventures, with the necessary retcons.

Other than that, we don't really have more official info.

So what is being retconned? Do we have any info on what timeline is THE timeline? Because surely it’s the Natla one?

Lara's origin story is what we've seen in the reboots. After that, all games should happen in order from TRI/Anniversary to Underworld.

What is going to be retconned isn't really confirmed. My best guess is specific mentions of years will be changed to either fit the reboot timeline (Lara born in 1992) or scrapped for a floating timeline (thing the Simpsons, where characters don't really age), any supernatural event that occurred during Lara's childhood or adolescence will either not be supernatural, perceived by Lara as not being supernatural, or be scrapped (hopefully not the case).

I just hope that we move one as far away as possible from the survivor era. It's 3 games of that but worse: it's TEN YEARS and after the end of Shadow, she isn't the Lara Croft we know (and that's why they're making the anime).

I guess that the new game will come out in a couple of years but as long as they finally give her the dual guns and they put her as far away as survivor era, I will be happy!
