Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Brings a Reimagined Classic in 2026
Scheduled for release in 2026, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a modern reimagining of the franchise’s original 1996 debut. Developed jointly by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, the game is designed to preserve the spirit of the original while introducing modern gameplay mechanics and visuals.
Built using Unreal Engine 5, the game features enhanced environments, refined controls, and updated design elements. Players will explore ancient locations, navigate hazardous terrain, solve complex puzzles, and confront dangerous enemies while searching for fragments of the legendary Scion artifact.
The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Tomb Raider: Catalyst Introduces a New Story Set in India
The second title, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, is an entirely new entry in the franchise and is set to launch in 2027. In development since 2022, the game takes Lara Croft on a large-scale adventure across Northern India, blending ancient mysteries with modern-day threats.
Also powered by Unreal Engine 5, Tomb Raider: Catalyst is described as the largest Tomb Raider game to date. The story centers on newly uncovered secrets and the forces guarding them, delivering a cinematic experience where history and the present collide.
This installment marks the return of the confident, fearless Lara Croft that helped establish the character as a global gaming icon. The game will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
Strong Creative Partnership Behind the Franchise Revival
The partnership between Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics has played a key role in bringing both projects to life. The collaboration provides the resources and creative freedom needed to develop two distinct experiences—one honoring the franchise’s origins and another pushing the series forward in a bold new direction.
Amazon Game Studios has emphasized its commitment to supporting ambitious creative visions, positioning the Tomb Raider franchise as a cornerstone of its growing game portfolio.
