New Tomb Raider leak is basically confirmed

The recent leak of the new Tomb Raider game from developer Crystal Dynamics has basically been confirmed in a somewhat roundabout way. Just a few days ago, a new report leaked the existence of the next internally running Tomb Raider project codenamed “Project Jawbreaker”. This leak revealed a number of details associated with the game, more specifically, it even happened to reveal some scenes that are likely to appear in the title. While Crystal Dynamics itself has not publicly commented on this, the studio has now primarily verified the authenticity of this obtained information.

According to Sacred Symbols host Colin Moriarty, who was the one who revealed details of the new Tomb Raider game, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have since filed a DMCA claim on the podcast that leaked this information. This basically means that the information shared in the last episode of the show was copyrighted to Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. In short, neither Square nor Crystal Dynamics will be allowed to make this claim unless the leaked details regarding the next Tomb Raider title are accurate. So in a somewhat indirect way, this only confirms that the leak associated with the Jawbreaker project was legitimate in the first place.

Curiously, Moriarty says that the DMCA claim that Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix were made was executed only for the release of the podcast appearing on Patreon. As such, the frequency currently on most podcast services has remained unchanged and is still playable.

It’s also worth noting that Square Enix’s involvement in this situation is a bit odd since the publisher is in the process of selling both Crystal Dynamics and Tomb Raider IP. For now, Square still owns both entities, but the Embracer Group will be the new parent company of Tomb Raider once the sale closes.

For now, it looks like this new Tomb Raider game is still in the early stages of development, which means we might not see an official announcement from Crystal Dynamics for a bit longer. If you’d like to learn more about what this title should have in store, though, you can check out the leaked description of Lara Croft’s next adventure below.

“Lara Croft is now at the top of her game. Gone are the days of the inexperienced young woman dealing with matters of inheritance and family account. Lara has completely abandoned her childhood and embraced a life of adventure and purpose.

Lara is lonely at the top. The beginning of this next chapter presents Lara with a fundamental problem for adults; You are facing something too big to deal with alone. In this new adventure, Lara will face a challenge that she can only overcome by having a team at her side.”
