The future of Lara Croft is set to be unveiled next week as a major proclamation for the Tomb Raider franchise is planned for The Game Awards 2025. Hosted by Geoff Keighley and airing December 12th, the event promises a first look at the next chapter for the long-running action-adventure series. The reveal comes as Crystal Dynamics navigates a period of restructuring and follows the recent cancellation of Perfect dark, adding notable weight to the forthcoming presentation.
The gaming world is bracing for one of the biggest weeks of the year as The Game Awards 2025 approaches, drawing attention from players and industry professionals alike. Hosted once again by Geoff Keighley, the event has already generated buzz with the appearance of a mysterious statue – one that isn’t connected to major titles like God of War, Diablo IV, The Elder Scrolls VI, or Lords of the Fallen 2. Now, Keighley has announced a significant reveal planned for the Tomb Raider franchise during the show.
Keighley has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the announcement, but a post on X encourages viewers to tune in to The Game Awards 2025 broadcast on December 12th at 1:30 AM (Spain time) to learn more about Lara Croft’s future. He suggests that attendees will get a glimpse of what’s next for “one of the most iconic video game franchises,” adding, “This is one you won’t want to miss.” The reveal comes at a time when interest in gaming franchises is high, as developers explore new ways to engage audiences across platforms.
The Current State of Tomb Raider Development
This announcement arrives at a pivotal moment for the Tomb Raider series. Crystal Dynamics has been working on the next major installment with Amazon as the distributor for several years. However, the studio has faced recent challenges, including multiple rounds of layoffs, following the cancellation of Perfect Dark, a project Crystal Dynamics collaborated on with the now-defunct The Initiative. The Game Awards presentation will offer the first public look at the project Crystal Dynamics has been developing in secrecy.
Beyond the core game development, the Tomb Raider universe is expanding across other media. The 2013 title, Tomb Raider, recently launched on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 (though technical performance on the Switch versions has been criticized). Additionally, the second season of the Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft series is set to premiere on December 11th, and Prime Video has confirmed that Sophie Turner (known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) will star as the iconic protagonist.
