"Tomb Raider" fans are getting hyped over the action-thriller video game featuring Lara Croft once again since the title for the third installment of the franchise has recently been leaked.

According to one Redditor who happened to be in the Montreal Subway the same time as an alleged "Tomb Raider" employee was on board, he saw a photo of what seems to be a presentation for the third installment in the "Tomb Raider" franchise on someone's laptop.

The photo shows an open laptop with what seems to be a presentation on the screen. What's interesting about this presentation is that a "Tomb Raider" logo is present in its top right hand corner. What's more is that the "Tomb Raider" logo includes a new title, which is speculated to be the title for the third "Tomb Raider" game.

The logo says "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," and according to recent speculations, this could indeed be the official title for the upcoming third installment of the "Tomb Raider" franchise. However, when asked about the leaked title, Square Enix did not acknowledge the speculated title from the photo.

On another note, other rumors that add to the suspicion that another "Tomb Raider" game is currently in the works is the fact that Ian Milham was recently hired to work with Crystal Dynamics. It is said that there are currently two "Tomb Raider" games that are undergoing development.

As of now there is still no official news from Square Enix about the third installment of the "Tomb Raider" franchise. However, fans can still look to the latest "Rise of the Tomb Raider" add-on content — such as the "Blood Ties" add-on — to enjoy the Lara Croft gaming franchise until further information is released about the controversial "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."

Players can enjoy "Rise of the Tomb Raider" today on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One consoles.
