[Rumor] Next Tomb Raider Game Gonna be Open World

According to the recent insider, next Tomb Raider game can be completely open world.

Completely Open World Tomb Raider Game

Crystal Dynamics, the developers behind the first two entries in the critically acclaimed Tomb Raider reboot trilogy, announced at the State of Unreal showcase back in April 2022 that another installment in the long-running franchise had officially begun development. Outside of revealing the fact that the new Tomb Raider game would be made using Unreal Engine 5, however, the company behind the upcoming release has yet to share much information on the contents of the title itself.

In the two years since the game’s official unveiling, the only thing of note that Crystal Dynamics has formally revealed so far is the new redesign that Lara Croft will sport in the upcoming game. Other than that, it’s been nothing but silence on the mainline Tomb Raider game front for quite a while now. However, this might be changed after the recent rumors came in top.

According to information shared by an insider named V Scooper on Twitter, the next Tomb Raider game will reportedly be “fully open world and set in India.” Elaborating on this statement, the insider claimed that the title will feature “vast sceneries” and new transportation methods to help players easily traverse and overcome obstacles across a wide, unrestricted landscape. The new forms of transportation in question are said to include things like motorcycles and parachutes, in addition to existing traversal methods that prior versions of Lara Croft made use of in previous games.

V Scooper also said that they don’t have a clue when the game might be released but game might be revealed soon, meanwhile the game supposed to be release in less than a year if there are no delays.

Considering both latest released Tomb Raider games are not totally linear and the next one won’t be linear as well, this news might upset classic Tomb Raider fans. Whatever Crystal Dynamics brings for us, we hope that we at least get a high quality and enjoyable experience after a very long wait.
