IT House April 10 news that Crystal Power this week announced that it is using Unreal Engine 5 to develop a new Tomb Raider series. According to IGN, the game may be a remake of the original Tomb Raider in 1996, which will be the first new work since 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
It is worth mentioning that the "Tomb Raider" studio also announced the LOGO of the new tomb raider, and the official also changed its official head map, which contains many elements of the original generation of "Tomb Raider". In addition, we can also see the heavy color of time from the poster.
The first installment in the Tomb Raider series was released in 1996. At that time, Crystal Power creatively combined action, puzzle solving and exploration elements, bringing players at the time an unprecedented sense of fun, while also pushing Lara, who was hot, tough and agile, but also highly intellectual, into the list of classic characters.
Dallas Dickinson, general manager of crystal-powered Tomb Raider series, promised to deliver a "high-quality cinematic action-adventure experience," but did not show gameplay or graphics, nor did it reveal a release date or name.
Dickinson said the team is looking to "push the limits of fidelity" and wants to bring crystal power and the experience of the Tomb Raider series to fans.
However, on the occasion of last year's 25th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series, Crystal Power Game Director Wilkes Lake talked about his intentions to restart the trilogy and the original game's plot, and he believed Laura should be an experienced explorer. In addition, Kerslake also said that Crystal Power was not ready to launch a new game at that time.
It House learned that this week, Jeff Ross, the chief producer of "Once Upon a Time Again", also announced that he would join Crystal Power and serve as design director, tweeting that he was working on a new Tomb Raider game, but he did not confirm which game he would be developing.
IGN said Ross had previously expressed his desire to make Uncharted, and given that Crystal Power might have taken inspiration from the PlayStation exclusive game when it rebooted Tomb Raider, it made sense to have him as the leader of Tomb Raider's latest title.
