"Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios are releasing two Tomb Raider games back-to-back in 2026 and 2027. First up, coming in 2026 is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Don't let the fancy name fool you though, Legacy of Atlantis is the Unreal Engine 5 version of the first Tomb Raider game, a remake similar to Tomb Raider Anniversary which updated the 1997 original PlayStation game for the PS2."
"But that's not all. In 2027, the Tomb Raider team will release another game, Tomb Raider Catalyst which is an all new adventure that looks like it features an all new Lara. Real Tomb Raider heads know that Lara Croft was originally envisioned as Laura Cruz, a South American woman, before she was British-ed her up to what we know today. The woman in Catalyst looks like a Lara paying homage to her origins as a woman of color."
Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios will release two Tomb Raider games in consecutive years. Legacy of Atlantis arrives in 2026 as an Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Tomb Raider, similar in intent to Tomb Raider Anniversary. Tomb Raider Catalyst follows in 2027 as an all-new adventure that appears to feature a reimagined Lara Croft. The Catalyst character visually references Lara's original conception as Laura Cruz, a South American woman, nodding toward her roots as a woman of color. Concrete gameplay and story details for both projects remain limited at present.
