Following the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the mobile roguelike Tomb Raider Reloaded, the popular series moved away from the spotlight, but the franchise is far from being over and done, as Crystal Dynamics is working on a new entry in the series that will release on a yet to be confirmed date.
