There were a number of announcements at Gamescom 2021, both in terms of updates on Halo Infinite, as well as new titles like the reboot of Saints Row. But the game's subtle announcement Dream Cycle, has been drawing attention because of who is behind it: Toby Gard.
Anyone who doesn't recognize this name will definitely recognize his work, since Gard was one of the original creators of the series Tomb Raider. This fact is, in fact, the first thing shown in the trailer for Dream Cycle, which is also the first game to come out of the new studio Gard, Cathuria Games, with Raw Fury at the helm of the publication.

Although not explicitly described as such, it appears that the Dream Cycle is being built to be a live-service type of game. Not only is it launching into Steam via early access, but Cathuria Games intends to create an endless game, calling the Dream Cycle a constantly expanding platform that will receive new content in the form of story chapters, weapons, biomes, powers, and enemies through regular updates.
It has been six years since the last game from Gard-which was the horror VR Here They Lie. Before that, he also worked as game director on Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. As for his work on the series Tomb Raider, he was never actively on the subsequent sequels, having left after the first released game (1996). He returned after the IP was acquired by Eidos, contributing to the development of titles such as Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Underworld, however.
Dream Cycle will release on September 7th on Steam.
