Amazon kalder det næste Tomb Raider for en "huge task"

Selvom at Embracer ejer Crystal Dynamics, så er det på mystisk vis Amazon Games der agerer udgiver på det kommende fjerde Tomb Raider-spil fra studiet, som står til at blive blandt et af de kommende års største titler.

Og spørger du netop udgiver Amazon, så er det noget af en opgave at udvikle spillet, selvom at det hele skrider frem efter planen. I et interview med IGN siger Amazon Games-chef Christoph Hartmann at Crystal Dynamics har været beskyttet imod den tumult der ellers har været hos Embracer, og at udviklingen går godt:

"I mean, doing a new Tomb Raider, the bar is so high. The longer you go, the expectation goes higher, so it's a huge, huge task, but things are progressing. I mean, there's some really great ideas here. Obviously, we're not going to share any with you even if we would love to, but things are going well, things are moving forward. And from what I could tell, Crystal was pretty sheltered..the studio went through a couple of ownership changes anyway before, it's not brand-new for them. They kind of were doing games with moving around anyway. And like, okay, new sheriff... you know what I mean, new owner in town. Let's just keep on doing what we do and make games."

Det vides endnu ikke hvornår spillet afsløres for offentligheden, men de fleste peger på at spillet befinder sig et senere stadie af udviklingen.
