Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is adding to its videogame ambitions with a deal to build and publish a new entry in the long-running Tomb Raider game series.
The retail/tech giant reached a deal to have Crystal Dynamics develop a multiplatform Tomb Raider entry, so far untitled, which will get global publishing support from Amazon.

That venerable franchise - "one of the most beloved IPs in entertainment history," Amazon says - now sports more than 20 titles, recently including 2013's Tomb Raider, 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider and 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

The new game will mark Amazon Gaming's first single-player narrative title. Amazon recently moved into AAA-level games with multiplayer games Lost Ark and recently announced Blue Protocol (developed by Bandai Namco (OTCPK:NCBDY)).
