It looks like Crystal Dynamics is wrapping up the new Tomb Raider — job listing

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Crystal Dynamics is close to completing the new Tomb Raider. According to a fresh job listing, the studio has entered the final stage of development — project polishing. This confirms that the work is nearly finished.

The team is currently looking for a Senior Level Designer to join the so-called Strike Team. Such groups are formed on the home stretch — to fix bugs, optimize performance, and prepare the project for release or showcase.

Although the job listing does not specifically mention Tomb Raider, the description refers to the “development of puzzle levels” — a key element of the franchise. Considering Crystal Dynamics’ past announcements and backing from Amazon, it is almost certainly about the new installment.

According to insiders, this is a soft reboot on Unreal Engine 5. The announcement is expected during the Summer Game Fest, which kicks off in June. A likely release is late 2025 or early 2026, before the launch of GTA 6.

The new game will be the first since 2018, when Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released.
