Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a full reimagining of the original game, built on Unreal Engine 5, scheduled for release on February 13, 2027, after a delay from an original 2026 window.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis was announced at The Game Awards 2025 alongside Tomb Raider: Catalyst, as part of a broader franchise revival under Amazon's publishing umbrella. The game was originally planned for a 2026 release but was delayed to February 13, 2027. That delay was followed by a one-year slip for Catalyst to 2028, meaning Amazon and Crystal Dynamics will now release two Tomb Raider titles in consecutive years rather than one per year as originally planned.
A hands-on report from Summer Game Fest Play Days in June 2026 described Legacy of Atlantis as a modern revival of the original game, built on Unreal Engine 5. The demo featured jungle exploration, grapple-based traversal, a crafting system, and a velociraptor encounter. The game is the first mainline Tomb Raider release in eight years.
In June 2026, the game's Steam store page disclosed that AI-assisted tools were used during development. Publisher Amazon Game Studios said it is optimistic about generative AI, though the disclosure noted all AI assets were replaced or refined by humans before final release. The game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.

Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games have delayed the all-new series entry Tomb Raider: Catalyst to 2028. The delay was revealed by Amazon's head of gaming, Jeffrey Gattis, in an interview with Game Business. The game was first announced alongside Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis at The Game Awards 2025. Initially, Catalyst was planned for 2027, but it has now been pushed back by one year. Legacy of Atlantis, meanwhile, remains scheduled for release on February 13, 2027, after its own delay from an original 2026 window. Both titles are part of a broader Tomb Raider franchise revival under Amazon's publishing umbrella. Catalyst is set to launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is described as a brand-new adventure for Lara Croft, though no further story details or gameplay specifics have been shared. The delay adds to a pattern of shifting release windows for the franchise's next-generation entries.
