Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis reimagines Lara’s original adventure
by Stefan L · tsaCrystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog have announced Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis a reimagining and remake of Lara’s original adventure. With an original game expected in 2027, Legacy of Atlantis will arrive in 2026.
The original Tomb Raider has been revisited a good few times over the years. Originally released in 1996, Tomb Raider: Anniversary was released in 2007, a PS3 era remake that came early on in Crystal Dynamics’ tenure as the franchise developer.
Now we’re entering into a new era for Tomb Raider, with Amazon acting as publisher after Crystal Dynamics was sold off by Square Enix a few years ago. A remake tends to be an easy go-to for publishers to greenlight and developers to refind a series’ core and often make a jump to a new game engine – usually Unreal Engine, let’s be honest. It will be interesting to see how faithful and how reimagined this game ends up being.
Want some blurb to pad the word count? Yeah, let’s have that.
As Lara Croft, harness your wits and athleticism to explore exotic locations lost to time—from the jungles of Peru to the ancient ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious Mediterranean island shrouded in myth. Traverse treacherous landscapes, solve deadly contraptions, and face lethal predators as you hunt for the scattered pieces of the Scion, an artifact of immeasurable power.
Whether you’re a veteran raider or new to Lara’s world, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis delivers jaw-dropping visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, modern game design, and new surprises, while honoring the spirit and atmosphere of Lara Croft’s debut adventure.
