Crystal Dynamics adds a new project to its plate: A Tomb Raider
Crystal Dynamics is very busy right now. The developer has been working as a support team for The Initiative’s Perfect Dark video game. He is also allegedly still pushing updates to Marvel’s Avengers. The studio added the next Tomb Raider to its list of ongoing projects.
Epic made this announcement as part of the State of Unreal presentation. Dallas Dickinson, Crystal Dynamics’ Dallas Dickinson, announced that the team is currently working on Lara Croft’s next adventure. Eidos Montreal developed the last game in Shadow of the Tomb Raider series. It wasn’t as popular as the original Tomb Raider reboot or its sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Crystal Dynamics will be bringing the series back to life. The presentation was void of footage and images, but the game will be developed using Unreal Engine 5. Epic’s presentation will feature it.
Although the studio seems to have many projects on its plate, Crystal Dynamics did open an Austin studio last year. All these projects should be managed so that workers can manage the workload and avoid being overwhelmed. Tomb Raider‘s future may be uncertain, but Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers project is more intriguing. The game hasn’t seen any content updates since Black Panther’s addition. However, there was a recent issue that caused it to crash. This could only be fixed by wiping all campaign progress. The whole thing seems to have failed.
