Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics are teaming up to bring Lara Croft back in two new ‘Tomb Raider’ games, with the first set to release on February 12, 2027, and the second arriving in 2028. In one of the adventures Lara will be placed somewhere in northern India.
The upcoming titles, ‘Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis’ and ‘Tomb Raider: Catalyst’, will offer a reimagining of the original 1996 game and an entirely new adventure, respectively, according to an Amazon blog post.
‘Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis’ will rebuild the original game from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, it will feature modernised gameplay, new mechanics, revamped puzzles and fresh surprises.
The story follows Lara on a global quest to recover scattered pieces of the Scion, a powerful artefact linked to the lost secrets of Atlantis.
Meanwhile, ‘Tomb Raider: Catalyst’, described as the biggest game in the franchise so far, will take Lara across Northern India.
Its storyline will bring the ancient world into collision with the present, as the adventurer uncovers newly unearthed secrets and confronts mysterious forces protecting them.
Unlike the earlier ‘Survivor’ trilogy, which explored Lara’s origins, the new title will feature her as the established, fearless and formidable adventurer.
Actor Alix Wilton Regan will voice Lara Croft in both games.
Both titles will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam. The launches coincide with the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
Crystal Dynamics has also partnered with community musician That Norsk Chick for the ‘Tomb Raider: 30th Anniversary Lo-Fi Collection’, which reimagines music from across the series and features sampled voice lines by Regan.
More than 500 classic soundtracks from the franchise are also being prepared for streaming services for the first time.
