Amazon Games has announced on its official website that it will be publishing the next installment in the Tomb Raider franchise. The game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics, which, despite being acquired by the Embracer Group earlier this year, will have Amazon Games handling the publishing and support for the upcoming Tomb Raider title.

The studio has also confirmed that the game will be a multi-platform release and that the development is still in its early stages. However, they have promised that more details will be revealed soon.

"Tomb Raider is one of the most beloved IPs in the history of entertainment. Amazon Games is committed to bringing high-quality games to players from the best developers across a variety of platforms and genres. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with this developer and this iconic franchise. Our team is incredibly excited to collaborate with the talented and visionary team at Crystal Dynamics to bring the next chapter of Lara Croft's saga to players worldwide."

"Crystal Dynamics has an extraordinary opportunity following our acquisition by Embracer to redefine what an editorial relationship means for Tomb Raider," said Scot Amos, the studio head of Crystal Dynamics. "Transformation is what we are aiming for, and with Amazon Games, we have found a team that shares our creative vision, ambitions, and values for the Lara Croft universe across the full spectrum of possibilities. They are uniquely positioned to rewrite what publication and development collaborations can be, and we look forward to paving this new path together, starting with building the biggest and best Tomb Raider game yet!"

The next Tomb Raider installment, which is currently untitled, is being developed using the Unreal Engine 5, promising to take the narrative to new heights in the largest and most expansive Tomb Raider game to date.
