Thanks to a common mistake, we know the name of the next 'Tomb Raider' game
The main reason I would never, ever use a laptop in public transit is I don't want people to see what I'm doing. I'm not even doing anything bad or weird! I just don't want people to see it.
Apparently, someone who is privy to the name of the next "Tomb Raider" game wasn't quite as protective of their information. Reddit user Tripleh280 posted this picture from a Montreal subway station of an open laptop showing a page for "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," which is not a name currently attached to an official product:
Kotaku's Jason Schreier corroborated with his sources that "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" is indeed the name of the next game in the series, which was rebooted in 2013 with "Tomb Raider." That game's sequel, "Rise of the Tomb Raider," is excellent and you should play it as soon as you can.
This isn't entirely unusual in the video game industry, as "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" was leaked in a similar manner a few years ago. "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" would fit with the naming convention the rebooted series has established thus far.
The only surprising aspect of this story is that the picture was taken in Montreal, while the first two games were developed by San Francisco-based Crystal Dynamics. Kotaku's sources say development of the game has moved to Eidos Montreal, the studio behind the recent "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided."
It remains to be seen whether Eidos Montreal is assuming full development or collaborating with Crystal Dynamics on the sequel. Again, this game hasn't been officially announced, so we don't know anything about it, besides its apparent title.
