The title is a follow up to Square Enix’s 2013 reboot of the series. Crystal Dynamics returns on development duties, while the script is being penned by the author of the 2013 Tomb Raider Rhianna Pratchett.

With the power of the new generation, and our proprietary Foundation engine, our high octane action moments will be even more epic,” said Darrell Gallagher, Square Enix’s head of product development and Western studios.

"Multiple locations around the world will be filled with exploration spacesthat are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three times larger than we could achieve before.

Our digital actors will rival CG quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in our gritty survival-action style.”
