Summary
Lifetime sales in theTomb Raiderseries have surpassed 100 million. This is across the entire series, so every game in every era, and comes right asCrystal Dynamicsreveals what’s next for Lara.
This announcement comes off the back of the release of the Netflix series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, andthe announcement of Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered. After announcing the remaster collection, Crystal Dynamics revealed that the series recently reached this huge milestone, 28 years after the first game’s launch.
Lifetime Tomb Raider Game Sales Surpass 100 Million
“We’re so honored to share a huge milestone for Tomb Raider – we have officially reached over 100 million games sold across the franchise,” reads ablog post. “This is a momentous accomplishment that few video game franchises ever achieve. We owe our thanks to you, the fans, as well as to all the passionate developers and artists whose talent and imagination have given us so many stories and experiences to share together for nearly three decades.
“We’re extremely grateful for the Tomb Raider community’s collective spirit of adventure, and we look forward to all the journeys still to come as Lara Croft and Tomb Raider continue to reach new heights.”
This milestone comes as the series finally begins to heat up again, after years on hiatus. Earlier this year, we got the first remaster trilogy, Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered. This largely went down well with fans, so it’s no surprise to hear that another is on the way.
As for a brand new game, it seems that this is still a while off. The closest we got to news on this wasCrystal Dynamics revealing a new look for Lara, which combines her appearances across the different eras. Still, this was said to bejust a “vision” of what she could look like, so it’s possible that even that hasn’t been nailed down yet. Wedid get some leaked plot details in 2022, but we’re still waiting to hear anything official.
WHERE TO PLAY
Adventurer Lara Croft has been hired to recover the pieces of an ancient artefact known as the Scion. With her fearless acrobatic style, she runs, jumps, swims and climbs her way toward the truth of it’s origins and powers - leaving only a trail of empty tombs and gun-cartridges in her wake.
On this trail are the most breath-taking 3D worlds yet seen - where exploration, puzzle and platform elements blend in a seamless real-time environment.
Over 5,000 frames of animation on the main character, Lara, alone.
