About Embracer

Embracer Group gathered Eidos studios behind Deus Ex, Tomb Raider and Thief. Human Revolution rebooted cyberpunk stealth in 2011. Tomb Raider restarted Lara Croft survival in 2013. Thief returned first-person sneaking in 2014.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider closed the survivor trilogy in 2018 with tomb puzzles at full scale. Saints Row rebooted open-world gang comedy in 2022 under Deep Silver. Playing in release order shows stealth tools and climbing systems maturing across teams. Newcomers can start with Tomb Raider 2013 for the smoothest modern onboarding.

Good to know

Play in release order. The series do not share continuity, so no cross-franchise chronology exists. Within Tomb Raider, play 2013 through Rise to Shadow in order. Deus Ex Human Revolution stands before Mankind Divided. Thief 2014 works standalone from the original trilogy. Saints Row reboot needs no prior gang lore.
