Crystal Dynamics has revealed in a statement that the new Tomb Raider game will not be impacted by recent news of major restructuring at Embracer Group.
Thanks to everyone for reaching out and asking about the most recent news by our parent company Embracer Group regarding the restructuring plans. We want to reassure fans that there will be no impact to our continuing efforts with our partners at The Initiative on Perfect Dark, or our next Tomb Raider title being developed in collaboration with Amazon Games.
The industry giant revealed yesterday that it is working on a company-wide restructuring plan that is expected to see the closure of numerous studios under its belt. In addition, it is also reducing its investment in external development to focus more on the production of internal projects.
The new Tomb Raider game will be powered by Unreal Engine 5 and is billed as a single-player narrative-driven adventure game. We haven’t seen it in action yet, but it is reportedly going to be revealed this year.
