" A Tomb Raider sequel is in development for next-gen consoles, Square Enix has revealed. Square Enix CEO Phil Rogers confirmed the news in an open letter to fans, revealing that the game is already &amp;quot;well into development&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I am also excited to reveal that we are well into development on a next-generation Tomb Raider sequel - something you may have heard about recently!&amp;quot; Rogers revealed. A sequel had been heavily rumoured after Dark Horse Comics said that its Tomb Raider comic series would &amp;quot;lead directly into the sequel&amp;quot;. Rogers used the open letter to quell fears that the company was abandoning triple-A video game development after posting poor financial results earlier this year. Tomb Raider itself was considered a &amp;quot;flop&amp;quot;, despite selling 3.4 million copies.  &amp;quot;I can categorically say that we&amp;#039;re not abandoning core, triple-A console and PC games,&amp;quot; Rogers continued.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re working hard at improving how we develop our games and how we release them, and I want to explain that in a little more detail. &amp;quot;In the future, we&amp;#039;ll offer gamers more choice, support more platforms and try new things - but we will make sure that whatever the platform, we&amp;#039;ll always keep our focus on raising the quality bar,&amp;quot; he added. Square Enix plans to share details about the new Tomb Raider game &amp;quot;soon&amp;quot;, and will continue to update fans about its progress through the development process. &amp;amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s Tomb Raider review Watch a trailer for Tomb Raider below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
