In conjunction with the debut of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5, a new Tomb Raider game was announced. This engine has been accessible to developers for some time and has already been included in a few demonstrations, such as the Matrix Awakens city demo.

This new engine has been verified by a number of gaming developers, including Crystal Dynamics. UE5 will be used in the future Tomb Raider game. This means that Tomb Raider will be using a different engine than the Foundation engine, which is what most game developers are doing these days. CD Project Red has announced that they are working on a Witcher game that would run on the UE5 engine. It's just recently been confirmed that both are in development, fans of the series should be patient.

I'd say, people are being cautious.
Since UE4 has issues with stuttering, issues that have never been fully addressed.

Expecting stuttering in UE5 is not entirely surprising.

That news is a little disappointing.
IMO Crystal have been ahead of the curve when it comes to the best eye candy.
Perhaps its just down to optimisation problems they have with their engines..
Remember how Mankind Divided really struggled when enabling t00 many next gen bells and whistles.
Not really looking forward to a TR game with Unreal eyecandy.
What if it has the same skin as Destroy All Humans. :confused:
