I always thought the character from Epic’s first Unreal Engine 5 demo looked a bit like Lara Croft, and perhaps Crystal Dynamics noticed it too! It’s interesting to hear that Crystal Dynamics is tackling a new Tomb Raider, as they’re also doing the heavy lifting on another big adventure with a British female protagonist – Perfect Dark. Will Crystal Dynamics have the capacity to handle both games? Let’s hope so. At the very least, fans should be happy that the studio is fully embracing their story-driven action-adventure roots again after their misadventure with Marvel’s Avengers. Unreal Engine 5 is now available to all developers. You can get details on the release and its new Lyra demo game, right here.
