Tomb Raider has not received a main installment for three years after Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a title that was developed by Eidos Montreal with the collaboration of Crystal Dynamics, which managed to lift the saga with the two previous installments of the trilogy. Coincidentally, the studio mentioned the saga in its last job offer and claimed to continue working on it.
What could be shown next week is the Tomb Raider series for Netflix, announced at the beginning of the year as a story that will pick up the last trilogy we saw on consoles and that can be enjoyed in a single title called Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy . So will we have news of a new delivery? Let’s hope so.
