Despite having the word “Shadow” in the title, the upcoming sequel to the new rebooted Tomb Raider series has been leaking a lot before it is fully announced. We first learned about Shadow Of The Tomb Raider due to someone opening a a confidential slide in a subway, and recent Twitter posts hint about something we could see a mile away.
And yet before Square Enix can get the sequel out of the shadows properly, here we are: another leak. Kotaku reported that the official Tomb Raider site teases a countdown to an announcement coming in March 15th, 6am PT (that’s 9PM Malaysian time, +8 GMT). But a cheeky inspection of the HTML reveals the announcement early.

It is reported that Eidos Montreal, the studio behind Deus Ex, are now handling the development, taking over Crystal Dynamics as they are working on a new Marvel Avengers game.
