Description: Shortly after it was announced that a new Tomb Raider game is in development in Unreal Engine 5, the official Tomb Raider Twitter account updated its cover image. It now displays reimagined artwork of the original Tomb Raider(opens in new tab), leading to speculation that the upcoming instalment might be a remake of Lara Croft's first adventure. The artwork, which shows Lara and a fearsome T-Rex, was unveiled last year as part of the series' 25th-anniversary celebration. A remake of 1996's Tomb Raider would make sense as Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that the next Tomb Raider game will unify the reboot trilogy with the classic games. The developer may be aiming to bring the treasure hunter's iconic first outing up to date to provide a continuing narrative with all the modern bells and whistles.
