30 years of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis celebrates the past and opens the doors to new generations

The new adventure of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, announced recently at The Game Awards, will be released in 2027. We’ll therefore have to wait a little longer before discovering Lara’s next chapter, but Crystal Dynamics has thoughtfully made the wait considerably less burdensome. The development studio has indeed announced the release of a remake of the first chapter of the series, originally released in the distant 1996.

 
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis was unveiled at the TGA 2025 alongside a trailer, which also features short gameplay sequences. The game presents itself as a modern reinterpretation of the original title, with breathtaking graphics and a completely refreshed design, thanks to the use of the Unreal Engine 5. Lara’s movements have also been made smoother and far more realistic, aligning the game with today’s most advanced adventure titles.  
 
In 2026, the 30th anniversary of Tomb Raider is being celebrated, so Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis aims to be a way for fans to commemorate the return of the most beloved archaeologist of all time. Crystal Dynamics’ goal is certainly to rekindle a sense of love and nostalgia among the series’ longtime fans, but also offer a chance for new generations to discover one of the works that laid the foundations of adventure games. 
 
As fans will undoubtedly remember from the original game, in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis we must accompany Lara in her search for the Scion, a powerful artifact divided into various fragments scattered around the globe. These fragments are hidden in mysterious and perilous locations, and to recover them, we must face deadly traps and navigate intricate puzzles.

We remind you that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is currently being developed by the studios of Crystal Dynamics in collaboration with Flying Wild Hog. The release of the title is scheduled for 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
