Rise of the Tomb Raider's setting and first screenshots have been revealed by Game Informer.
Set in the frozen wilds of Siberia, the game will send Lara on a hunt for the lost secrets of immortality.
The forthcoming adventure will also see Lara crafting new survival gear in order to confront larger puzzle tombs and a new enemy, described as a secret society that has been lying in the shadows since the last game.
"Rise of the Tomb Raider is equally ambitious as the last one," said Square Enix's head of studios Darrell Gallagher.
He added: "It's less about what is Tomb Raider. It's more about how do we top what we did last time."
Rise of the Tomb Raider is scheduled to debut this holiday season as an Xbox exclusive.
However, Crystal Dynamics hasn't ruled out the possibility that the game will hit other platforms in the future.
