What a surprise for gamers! After several players spotted the news on Fortnite, on the map of The Game Awards UEFN, Geoff Keighley— the powerhouse behind the awards— confirmed that the Tomb Raider franchise will be making headlines during the upcoming ceremony, set to take place from December 11 to 12, 2025. Are we looking at new details about the Amazon Games project? An announcement of a new game? Here are some clues!

Is the Tomb Raider franchise about to make a comeback on PC and consoles? That’s the hint dropped by this year’s Game Awards, scheduled for the night of December 11th to 12th, 2023. Meanwhile, countless fans have uncovered clues hinting at a potential return. Are these leaks? Not quite—these details are official but weren’t revealed through the usual channels. Instead, news broke via Fortnite (map code: 6938-4288-2460) and, more specifically, through the The Game Awards UEFN map. Fans quickly jumped on the discovery, sharing the news across social platforms, eager for confirmation of the beloved franchise’s next chapter.

This news was later confirmed by Geoff Keighley, the mastermind behind the Game Awards, via a tweet on X. As for the details and implications of these announcements, we'll have to wait for the gaming ceremony to find out... However, a few details have already been leaked: one of them will concern the game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Amazon Game Studios, as announced by Amazon in a press release.

As for whether there will be any more announcements, it’s far from certain — but we’re holding out hope. Unless Amazon takes advantage of the Tomb Raider segment to reveal new details about its heroine, Lara Croft, beyond the game world, such as a trailer or some information about their upcoming live-action series Tomb Raider, featuring Sophie Turner as the adventurous archaeologist? We’ll find out this Friday!
