In what is video games’ biggest worst kept secret, the next Tomb Raider game now has a release date. A website for the game went live and to inform every one of the soon to be announced game but obviously, that didn’t go so well as the release date is now all over Twitter after being found in the site’s source code.
There it is September 14th of this year will be the next instalment in the revived Tomb Raider franchise. Interestingly it also states that it is the climactic finale of Lara’s origin story so could it be the last Tomb Raider game we see for a little while?
With the announcement lining up with the movies I can only imagine that future Tomb Raider games will be greenlit giving how well the movie goes. If the film is a huge success than they really have no option but to make more games and having a movie and a game released in the same year each time is a pretty cycle to have.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been leaked and talked about for a while after the title of the game was leaked some time ago now. The last Tomb Raider game was released exclusively on Xbox first and that crippled the great game’s release and hopefully, it’s not the same this time around.
Are you excited about the game and the film? I bet there will be a special edition that comes with both…there’s got to be right?
