Eidos Montreal, the renowned game developer behind 2021's Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, is seemingly working on a new IP, blending elements from both Tomb Raider and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Dungeon crawling is pretty close to grave robbery, after all - but this just may be a catch-all description of modern open world titles.
This intriguing and somewhat surprising revelation comes from a series of job postings and leaks that have surfaced online, courtesy of Reddit user u/RichardAYBuck. The upcoming title from the Canadian developer appears to be a delightful mix of the adventurous spirit of Tomb Raider and the expansive open-world charm of Breath of the Wild.
Based on analysis of these job listings, the game is expected to be set against either an ancient historical or post-apocalyptic backdrop. One of the job listings hints at the design and creation of various villages and inhabited areas, teeming with NPCs and player interactions.
Additionally, the game's structure seems to be aiming for an open-world format, as indicated by the emphasis on designing, you guessed it, open-world missions. Unless the info proves to be false, or there simply is a change during development, we'll probably be looking at gameplay that mixes parkour and exploration in between combat.
