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.

Tomb Raider has apparently been adapted for several films, so perhaps Embracer Group thought the third time was the charm of that film.
