Setting: According to information from V Scooper, the new Tomb Raider is set in India. This would not be Lara Croft’s first trip to the subcontinent. At the beginning of Tomb Raider III we already travel to India with the archaeologist and search for the Infada Stone.
Size of the map: The new Tomb Raider title will have an open world. However, there is still no concrete information about the size and actual extent of the game world. However, Lara Croft will be able to move across the map by motorcycle and parachute, among other things. The previous title Rise of the Tomb Raider already included large map sections – and the title was also developed by Crystal Dynamics in 2016.

Gameplay: The game is said to feature a group called the “Society of Raiders”, which may be inspired by Lara Croft but works independently of her and may have conflicting goals.
The new faction also shows a new feature of the game. It should be possible to recruit teams and allies who can then support us on missions or take out our enemies. The focus here is on non-lethal combat techniques.
Story: According to the information, the story is set in northern India. According to the story, a natural disaster has uncovered the ruins and artifacts of the ancient emperor Ashoka. Lara Croft sets off in search of these treasures. However, they are stolen from her by the “Society of Raiders” and other rivals.
Development of the game may already be well advanced
According to V Scooper, the development of the game is already well advanced. According to this, the release should take place in less than a year – if nothing comes up. When asked about the source of information V Scooper replies:
I have the information first hand, but in no way can I say how, because I am technically the source. Proof of this should be provided over time, which could happen very soon.
The new Tomb Raider was announced by Crystal Dynamics back in April 2022. In December 2022, it was revealed that Amazon Games is also involved in the production. What’s more, the company is also planning its own Tomb Raider series and another film.
