It seems like an exciting time for the beloved franchise as an unreleased game has recently emerged on the internet. While Crystal Dynamics is hard at work on the next installment of the series, it appears that an additional game might be in development as well. Moreover, Amazon is set to breathe new life into the franchise with an upcoming TV series and possibly even movies, although details are scarce at this time.
In even more exciting news, the ESRB has rated a new game for the Nintendo Switch called The Tomb Raider Collection. This unannounced title is described as a collection of two action-adventure games with a 3/4-overhead perspective and a T for Teen rating. Fans can deduce that this collection doesn’t include any of the recent trilogy games, as they were all rated M and featured an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective.

Instead, it is likely that The Tomb Raider Collection will include the spin-offs Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris. These digital-only releases offered a more pulpy experience than the core series from Crystal Dynamics, and are expected to be a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch, thanks to their gameplay styles.
Given that the ESRB rating is usually one of the last steps before a game’s release, we can expect The Tomb Raider Collection to hit the shelves sooner rather than later. This rating process typically only occurs after the developer has finalized the content to be included in the game, so we are likely on the cusp of an official announcement.
As we eagerly await more information on both the leaked Tomb Raider game and The Tomb Raider Collection, it’s an excellent time to revisit the iconic franchise’s roots. The series has left an indelible mark on the gaming world, with many gamers associating it with their fond memories of the original PlayStation and groundbreaking female protagonists in the industry.

It’s undeniable that Lara Croft has transcended the gaming sphere, making her way into multiple movies. Although the recent reboot failed to establish a new franchise, Amazon’s upcoming ventures might just be the catalyst needed to reinvigorate the Tomb Raider universe on the screen.
With so much on the horizon, it’s clear that Tomb Raider fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Keep your eyes peeled for updates and announcements, and get ready to embark on more thrilling adventures with the indomitable Lara Croft!
