Announcement about the postponement of the release date of two versions of Tomb Raider on Nintendo Switch.
The year is only a few days away, so it’s probably no surprise to see two games delayed to 2023. As opposed to the main Tomb Raider game collection on consoles, Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris are experienced from a top-down perspective. Both titles featured cooperative gameplay and received mostly positive reviews from critics when they were released.
While the Switch may be powerful enough for a trilogy of reboots, there’s no word on Tomb Raider or its sequels coming to Nintendo’s console. Other developers have ported AAA games like Doom Eternal, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim to Switch, so it will be interesting to see if Lara Croft’s latest big adventures be released on this platform or not.
Fans of the Tomb Raider franchise have a lot to look forward to in the coming years, as a new AAA game is currently in development at Crystal Dynamics. This next game will be published by Amazon Games and it will become the biggest title in the Tomb Raider series.
