According to Embracer’s new plans, over the next five years we would see 5 AAA video games from Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal, of which we only know two. The first is Perfect Darksince it is being developed by Crystal Dynamics together with The Initiative, while the second is the title of tomb Raider which will be published by Amazon.

Crystal Dynamics recently gave hope of a sequel or remake of Legacy of Kain, so this could be another project that would arrive by 2028. Last year Embracer Group said that it saw potential in making remakes, remasters and spin-offs of the licenses. which he bought from Square Enix, so we might as well see some Deus Ex or Thief.
