Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), which just signed a deal to make and sell a new Tomb Raider game, is getting more serious about the video game business.
The retail and tech giant has a deal with Crystal Dynamics to make a new Tomb Raider game that can be played on multiple platforms and will support international publishing from Amazon Stock.
More than 20 games have been released under this storied series, which Amazon describes as “one of the most beloved IPs in entertainment history.” The brand-new title will be the company’s first narrative single-player game. With Bandai Namco’s (OTCPK:NCBDY) Lost Ark and Bandai Namco’s (OTCPK:NCBDY) Blue Protocol, both of which are multiplayer games, Amazon has just entered the AAA gaming market.
Developments Likely to Impact Amazon Stock, Performance
Under the terms of a deal announced today by Amazon (AMZN) Games and Crystal Dynamics, Crystal Dynamics will make a new Tomb Raider game for multiple platforms. Amazon Games will offer full support and publish the game around the world.
According to the agreement, Crystal Dynamics will create a new multiplatform Tomb Raider game, with Amazon Games offering full support and releasing the game internationally.
The next Tomb Raider game, which doesn’t have a name yet, will be a single-player, story-driven adventure that continues Lara Croft’s story. It contains all the components that have helped Tomb Raider become one of the most renowned video game franchises. Players take control of the confident and multifaceted hero Lara Croft in an environment that encourages exploration and creative pathfinding, has hard puzzles to solve, and a variety of enemies to face and beat. Crystal Dynamics is using the power and cutting-edge technology of Unreal Engine 5 to bring the story to a whole new level in the biggest and most complete Tomb Raider game ever made. Additional information about the game, which is still in the early stages of production, will be released at a later time.
