'Tomb Raider 3' release date and rumors: Upcoming game to be titled 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider?'

The reboot of the "Tomb Raider" franchise back in 2013 was a massive success, and modern audiences have found a renewed interest in daring adventurer Lara Croft. Rumors have popped up online that Crystal Dynamics is working on the next addition to the franchise, and it may possibly be called "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."

The original post came from Imgur, and it was captioned, "Saw someone working on a presentation for "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" on the subway (Possible new game?)" The image was also blurry, but it was clear that the "Tomb Raider" logo was in the presentation. Readers will just have to trust the person who took the picture on their word that the title reads "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."

Some fans have remained skeptical of the news, but other games have found buzz this way. "Assassin's Creed Unity" had random screenshots leaked all over the internet, but since the picture is of a Powerpoint presentation, fans are still hoping for more solid proof.

The fact that the leaked image is that of a presentation could possibly give fans a hint that the game is still in its early stages of development. The developers have just released downloadable content for "Rise of the Tomb Raider," so it may be a while before they release anything new.

Reddit users have also reacted to the post, and some are still on the fence on whether the post is legitimate. One comment said, "My new hobby: riding around the bus with my laptop pretending to be working on Half Life 3."

Some have pointed out that the picture was also taken in Montreal, so it's possible that the "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" is being worked on by Square Enix Montreal (SEM) and not Crystal Dynamics. SEM has worked on titles like "Hitman Go," "Lara Croft Go," and "Deus Ex Go."

No official release date has been announced for "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."
