Tomb Raider Co-Creator Says He’d Prefer Exploring New Lost Worlds Over “Another Remake/Remaster/Reimagining)
Spotted by Core Design on X (formerly Twitter) via TheGamer, Tomb Raider co-creator, Paul Douglas, expressed his views about the remake announcement through a new post on BlueSky.

In follow-up posts, he first acknowledged the arrival of Tomb Raider: Catalyst, stating “Aha! We get the best of both worlds…” with a flag of India and dinosaur emojis. Later, Douglas noted that he is “looking forward to seeing both new games,” adding that both games are visually stunning and are something they could only dream of 30 years ago. He concluded, stating, “We will have to wait and see if the gameplay and resulting feelings of exploration and adventure are as good.”
