The official Tomb Raider website recently updated with a landing page inviting visitors to sign up for "breaking news regarding the Tomb Raider franchise," including details on rewards, exclusives, merch, and new releases. This development has ignited speculation among fans that Crystal Dynamics may be preparing to announce the next Tomb Raider game, the first mainline entry since 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

With Gamescom 2023 about to begin, starting with Opening Night Live on August 22, fans are hopeful that the first details of the next game could be unveiled then. However, it's equally possible that the site update is simply a regular refresh, and no announcement is planned either at Gamescom or in the near future.
Last year, it was announced that Amazon Games would publish the next Tomb Raider game, a decision that received mixed reactions from fans. Though specific details are sparse, what is known is that the upcoming game is being built using Unreal Engine 5 and is touted as the most expansive entry in the series to date. Whether this website update is a precursor to an imminent announcement or not, the excitement and anticipation among the franchise's fans are palpable.
