What The New 'Tomb Raider' Needs To Bring Us
Believe it or not, the people behind Fortnite are also responsible for allowing the best-looking video games in the world to become a reality. Unreal Engine 5, the latest iteration of their magnificent engine is finally out, and its release came with the announcement of the long-teased new game in the Tomb Raider series. So far they've shown us words, then words neatly placed on a logo:

Even though the logo evokes classic Tomb Raider games, that's not much of a reveal – and that's ok. Why? Because the new Tomb Raider will look just absurdly great. Hell, below we leave a screenshot from Dagger Of Xian, a project that a fan did by himself on the previous iteration of Unreal Engine.

What we want from the series is for it to avoid going stale as the old games did. And for that, we need evolution that goes beyond the visual level. The good news is that the new series is in a great place for just that. The “new Lara” origin trilogy has concluded with 2018's Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, so now is a great time to do something as it wouldn't be the first time.
