The Long-Awaited Moment for Tomb Raider 12 is Very Near
Fans’ patience has been tested for years for Lara Croft to embark on a new adventure. Crystal Dynamics has been working on Tomb Raider 12 for a long time, and according to recent leaks, the expected announcement is now very close. Fans of the series, which has not seen a new main game since Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s release in 2018, are closer than ever to both new details and a possible introduction.
Leaks and Official Information About Tomb Raider 12
VScooper, known for its leaks in the gaming world, had suggested that Tomb Raider 12 would have a completely open world structure and that the story would take place in India. According to the allegations, this time Lara will compete for ancient ruins with a group inspired by her but independent called “Society of Raiders”. In addition, the game will feature strategic innovations such as team building, using allies in missions, and non-lethal combat options.
According to leaks, players will be able to freely move through large areas using motorcycles and parachutes. The size of the map and the freedom of exploration will be much wider than the previous games in the series. VScooper stated in a recent update that the game’s announcement “could come at any moment”. Especially the Summer Game Fest event to be held in June has become an even more remarkable possibility with these statements.
On the official side, here’s what is known about Tomb Raider 12: The game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics and will be published by Amazon Games. The production, developed using Unreal Engine 5, will be based on Lara Croft’s history told in the Survivor trilogy and will progress in this universe. Crystal Dynamics also shared a concept drawing of Lara’s new design. Classic details such as the iconic dual pistols, blue tank top, cargo shorts and backpack seem to have been preserved in Lara’s new look.
Amazon Games President Christoph Hartmann stated last year that the project “aims for a very high quality standard” and that “development is going well.” Despite some layoffs at Crystal Dynamics, the studio also emphasized that this situation does not affect Tomb Raider 12 plans.
The fact that there is a call for participation in the “Society of Raiders” on the official Tomb Raider website shows that there may be some truth to the story elements suggested by VScooper. While we wait for official statements, excitement for Lara Croft’s new adventure is growing day by day. All eyes are now on the promotion.
