It is now official, we will see more of Lara Croft.

Really there was little doubt after this year’s [amazon_link id=”B004FS8LYK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Tomb Raider[/amazon_link] reboot garnered great reviews and sold extremely well despite the fact Square complained about the sales numbers. It must be hard for them to admit that their western arm is the only thing keeping their company afloat.

CEO Phil Rogers has sent out an open letter confirming the sequel is already in development for next-gen consoles.

“I am also excited to reveal that we are well into development on a next-generation Tomb Raider sequel – something you may have heard about recently.”

The game was loved by everyone here as we did a dual review for the game and both reviews agreed upon an 8.5. Even as I played the game, I remember being excited about what the development team could do with next generation hardware and I am glad we will get a chance to see.

Darrell Gallagher, head of product development at Square spoke on giving fans even more the second time around:

“It’s still early days, so I’m afraid I can’t provide any further details for now save my assurance that we’re not resting on our laurels and acclaim from Tomb Raider’s recent successes, but working hard to raise the bar even higher and re-affirm the faith you’ve shown.”
