Leaky breaks
I’ll let you know up-front that this really isn’t as juicy as it might seem. We may have the name of the nextTomb Raidergame, but that’s it. It’s just a new name in a series where we were essentially guaranteed to have more installments. And even what we do know might be wrong.
Rumors are going around today thatShadow of the Tomb Raideris the title of the next Crystal DynamicsTomb Raidergame.That leakcomes via a Montreal subway rider who allegedly snapped a picture of someone working on a presentation. If that’s true, it’s probably a Square Enix marketing or PR type.
Before you laugh at the ridiculousness of this type of leak, remember that it has happened before. This is theexact waythatAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagwas unofficially revealed in early 2013. There’s precedent.
What makes this all the more believable and also all the more unspectacular is that Crystal Dynamics recentlysigned a new directorfor theTomb Raidergames. That’s not a hire you make if there won’t be any moreTomb Raidergames.
So,Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Sounds about right. What we don’t know is the timeline, the broad story, what platforms it’ll comes to — basically everything surrounding it. But, we have a name. Probably.
