Update tomb raider

The update slipped out quietly, without much fanfare from Crystal Dynamics or publisher Square Enix, Eurogamer reports. Similarly, the game now carries an "Optimized for Xbox Series X S" label on the Xbox store, suggesting it may have also gotten a performance boost for the new-generation version.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was the finale in the rebooted trilogy that Crystal Dynamics began in with Tomb Raider and its followup. The new take on Lara Craft began her journey as a younger woman on her first adventures and learning to cope with the weight of responsibility and danger. While Shadow maintained a lot of its previous games' core mechanics, it wasn't received as well as the critically acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider.

A script is coming in very soon. She's extremely hardworking," Vikander said at the time. But yeah, I'm excited to read scripts and hope that it's something that we'll find a way to make. The second Tomb Raider movie has had an up and down development over the last year, having found a director in Ben Wheatley up to late in and even being given a release date of March at one point before MGM pulled that and didn't provide any idea of when or if a new date would be given.

In January it was revealed that Wheatley had parted ways with the project and Green had taken his place. Working under the supposed title of Tomb Raider: Obsidian , Green tweeted an update in May, saying, "Still a long journey to production. Title's not even approved. First draft finished! Currently there are a number of video game adaptations out there, and on the whole they have been doing relatively well compared to some from a couple of decades ago.
