It's currently unclear if this is still the plan and if it is, how the studio will go about organizing this endeavor. We could even see the story skip ahead a few years, as a more experienced Lara Croft is taking on more and more jobs.īack in January 2021 during a celebration of the franchise, Crystal Dynamics noted that the team saw a future where Lara's past and present would be brought together, where the different timelines of games could be fused into one. With that said, it's also possible that the next game will follow the current storyline.


The story of Lara Croft has been reset before, so it's not impossible that Crystal Dynamics could decide to wipe the slate clean yet again. Right now, we don't know what the story of the next Tomb Raider game will be or if it will even be set in the same timeline as the reboot games.
