Is there a new Tomb Raider game in 2024?

A new Tomb Raider game is exciting, the release of Tomb Raider I-III isn’t enough, so let’s see when we might see the next Lara Croft game.

Is there a new Tomb Raider game in 2024? This isn’t the right question to ask, as the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection came out in February, meaning we already got a new Lara Croft game this year. So, really, it’s now a question of whether or not we can expect another one in 2024 or if the next Tomb Raider game won’t be until 2025 and beyond.

As I already mentioned, we have had a Tomb Raider game already this year, technically three of them, and one look at our Tomb Raider I-III Remastered review shows you that it’s a fun time – how could revisiting Lara’s original adventures be anything but nostalgia-fuelled fun?

Is there a new Tomb Raider game in 2024?

The Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection came out on February 14, 2024, meaning we already had a new Tomb Raider game this year. If you want to be pedantic about it, you can argue that they aren’t really ‘new.’ This trilogy originally came out in the 90s, with Tomb Raider in 1996, Tomb Raider II in 1997, and Tomb Raider III in 1998 – there was also a Tomb Raider game in 1999, but The Last Revelation didn’t make the cut for this collection of action games.

As much as we want a brand new Tomb Raider game, it doesn’t appear as though we can expect on in 2024, but that’s not to say that we won’t get a surprising announcement before the year is over. Surprising announcements can come at the drop of a hat, some games don’t even need a showcase to be announced these days (though Tomb Raider not appearing in one and having a social media announcement would be surprising). Either way, we’ll do our best to keep you in the loop about Lara’s next outing.

New Tomb Raider game platforms

Without an official announcement for a new Tomb Raider game, it’s very difficult to name the platforms. A mainline entry is likely to be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. While there are Tomb Raider games on Nintendo Switch, the Survivor trilogy is famously absent. Furthermore, some Tomb Raider games are exclusive to mobile devices (Tomb Raider: Reloaded comes to mind), so there’s always the chance that the next Lara Croft game will be for iOS and Android users only.

What will the new Tomb Raider game be like?

This is a little bit on the nose, but I imagine that the new Tomb Raider game will involve searching tombs. At the very least, it will include exploring caves and ruins, all while you fight for survival and search for historic artifacts. No matter what type of Tomb Raider game you play, the basics are the same: Lara has her trusty pistols (most of the time, don’t get me started on their absence throughout the Survivor trilogy), some pals who are ready to help her, and an evil organization who wants to doom the world – well, cause some sort of the problem.

You can expect plenty of action and combat, more puzzles than might feel necessary, and an inviting story that has you guessing what happens next. The more I talk about the prospect of a new Tomb Raider game, the more I can’t wait to see what it will be. Crystal Dynamics has a solid reputation with the franchise, being responsible for entries such as Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider, Underworld, Tomb Raider (2013), and Rise of the Tomb Raider, so Lara’s next outing is in good hands.

New Tomb Raider game release date speculation

I can’t even begin to guess a release date for the next Tomb Raider game, never mind suggest a year in which we might see it. All I can do is promise to update this guide with any new information as soon as more details about the next game come to light.

That’s everything we can tell you about a new Tomb Raider game.
