The new Tomb Raider game was just confirmed in Fortnite, because everything else is happening there too

It’s just all happening in Fortnite these days, isn’t it? It’s one collab after another, and this latest just confirmed the next entry in one of gaming’s most iconic franchises.

As part of a special UEFN island in Fortnite as part of a partnership with The Game Awards, players have been playing minigames and solving puzzles to help reveal one of the titles that will appear at this year’s show. And the results are in.

When you load in to the UEFN Game Awards experience now, the center of the area shows the unmistakable silhouette of Lara Croft, meaning The Game Awards on Thursday will now showcase and reveal the next entry in the Tomb Raider franchise.

Other than a few recent remasters, it’s now been seven years since Croft’s most recent adventure in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. This new entry is shrouded in mystery for now, but the first look coming this week should hopefully generate some hype moving into 2026.

Amazon is currently working on a Tomb Raider live action series starring Sophie Turner, so it will be interesting to see if the two projects are in any way related. Other than that, all we know so far is that the new title is being published by Amazon Games and developed once more by Crystal Dynamics, makers of the reboot trilogy from 2013 to 2018.

For now, fans of the series can look forward to some exciting news over the next few days and hopefully not too long of a wait until everyone can play it. Either way, the wait is not much longer now.

Tune in to The Game Awards on Dec. 11 at 6:30pm CT to catch the reveal along with new info from other games like Resident Evil Requiem, Exodus, Phantom Blade Zero, and many more.
