Earlier this month, the gaming industry ushered in its next major acquisition of the year, this time the Embracer Group’s acquisition of IP such as Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider. out of the encirclementand studios Crystal Dynamics and Eidos MontrealIt’s clear that Embracer Group wants to capitalize on this wealth of media and talent, but it’s unclear how it plans to do so.

Speaking of the acquisition, Embracer Group wrote that it received an “overwhelming and positive response”, saying it saw “enormous potential not only in sequels, but in remakes, remakes, spin-offs and the entire in the group’s transmedia projects.”

Considering that Kane’s Legacy has been around for about 20 years, now is the perfect time to bring it back.
None of this is surprising, but the cross-media commentary sure is interesting. Tomb Raider has apparently been adapted for several films, so perhaps Embracer Group thought the third time was the charm of that film. Given how well the Uncharted movies fared earlier this year, there’s certainly potential for a proper take on the Tomb Raider franchise.
