That leaves Tomb Raider, which released Underworld last year to disappointing sales. Are they working on a sequel to that, too? Oh hell yes they are!
āThe next Tomb Raider, I think, will surprise a lot of people and reinvigorate the franchise. There are some remarkable things weāre doing in the next Tomb Raider to make you say, āOh Lara, I love you so much!ā
All this is in addition to Deus Ex 3, already underway at Montreal. (Livingstone indicates that might be released in 2010.) What, no Just Cause 2? Oh, right ā¦

Thatās five projects, all of them sequels. I think porn studios come up with more original IP. Of course, Hitman 5 probably sells better than āDonkey Punch 22.ā
