Crystal Dynamics will reveal an original game this year, it has been announced.
The California-based studio, which is owned by Japanese publisher Square Enix, is developing the project alongside Tomb Raider.
"The New Year ushers in more than just fresh calendars and renewed resolutions. 2012 will prove to be a very exciting year for Crystal Dynamics, more so than any in recent memory," said community manager Meagan Marie.
"Not only will our team be eating, sleeping, and breathing Tomb Raider, but we'll also be hard at work preparing to reveal exciting new intellectual property to the world."
Founded in 1992, Crystal Dynamics is known for its work on the Gex, Pandemonium, and the Tomb Raider franchise since 2006.

Announced in late 2010, Tomb Raider will be an origin story for Lara Croft, seeing her shipwrecked and stranded on a Pacific island.
The open-world title will see Lara's abilities improve over time, providing her with new tools, gear and athletic prowess to access new areas of the island.
Tomb Raider will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year.
