Dude... its Tomb raider! Theres zero chance they won't make anymore sequals. Rise didnt sell well cause Bethesda went and spoiled the party with Fallout 4. I'm sure it will sell at least a million week one on the PS4.

I don't want them to make one though. The Legacy of Kain series needs new entries.

I mean, Ono said they couldn't make a new SF, and then said they could make it, but it would take forever. Everyone that got pissed at Capcom were like "of course they'd make another SF! It's their bread and butter".....even after Ono said it would be tough to do. And Capcom hasn't been so hot lately, financially. 

So, it's not as simple "there's zero chance they won't make any more sequels". Especially considering they didn't make a a profit on TR2013 until it sold 6 million. Also, Tomb Raider isn't really a "Square Enix franchise" (simply an acquired franchise from a studio they purchased), so they could abandon it if they wanted, sell off the IP, and not think twice about it.  


Tomb raider is the biggest Eidos franchise. Its more likely that it keeps getting sequals than Deus Ex and Hitman, and those are still getting them.

The reason why it required 6 million to break even i don't know, but with the microsoft deal i'm sure that isnt the case. Also the tools were already developed, i'm sure the new games doesnt need all those millions to break even. And the 5 or 6 million that keep getting thrown around for the original, i'm sure there is some disinformation going on there.
