The Game Awards 2025: a new 'Tomb Raider' presentation announced

The Tomb Raider franchise has confirmed that its next title will be unveiled this week during The Game Awards 2025.

The news has ignited anticipation among fans, who have been waiting for updates since the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 2018. The new project aims for a reinvention of the series, with a renewed focus on both gameplay and narrative.

An announcement that first exploded in Fortnite

The confirmation arrived in an unexpected way. It first appeared on the The Game Awards voting island in Fortnite, where the return of the iconic adventurer was teased. Minutes later, Geoff Keighley and the official Tomb Raider team made it public, sealing the game's presence at the ceremony.

The move quickly went viral on social media, where thousands of fans celebrated the long-awaited return of the iconic heroine.

A new era for the saga

This upcoming title would mark the starting point of a unified universe that will include video games and a television series. It is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, which anticipates a considerable technical leap.

Rumors also point to an open-world format set in northern India. It would feature a larger map and new mechanics.
