Originally announced for release in 2026, Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog’s remake of the original Tomb Raider, titled Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, is a game I have been greatly anticipating this year. However, when the release date was revealed during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, I was surprised to see that the game had been delayed. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will now release on February 12, 2027.
It’s not all bad news! The new trailer that provided this date reveal gave us our best look at the game yet.
In Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, players will step into the boots of Lara Croft as she embarks on a treacherous globe-trotting quest to discover the lost secrets of Atlantis, with jaw-dropping visuals, modernized gameplay, and new surprises that honor the spirit of the original game. Immersive environments, familiar puzzles redefined with new mechanics, and unforgettable moments – like the legendary battle against the T-Rex – are transformed as epic gameplay encounters on a cinematic scale. This is the legendary adventure fans remember, reimagined in ways that weren’t possible before, and with new surprises.
In Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, players will:
- Reveal the Mysteries of the Past: The classic story has been expanded with deeper connections that bridge Lara Croft’s defining adventure to her future.
- Discover Extraordinary and Dangerous Worlds Lost to Time: Explore treacherous landscapes filled with ancient artifacts and hidden secrets, from the jungles of Peru to the crumbling ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious island shrouded in myth.
- Skillfully Traverse Deadly Environments: Use Lara’s strength, agility, and grappling hook to climb, leap, and swing across perilous terrain.
- Solve Ingenious Ancient Contraptions: Manipulate hidden mechanisms and the environment to unseal secrets locked away for centuries. Every solution combines knowledge you’ve uncovered and clever thinking.
- Face Lethal Predators: Armed with Lara’s signature dual pistols and other unlockable weapons, use acrobatic abilities to unleash devastating attacks against savage wildlife, mercenaries, and mythological creatures.
For Nintendo fans, there was also some great news. The announcement also confirmed that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will also be available on Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day, February 12, 2027. Players can expect the same cinematic scale and fluid gameplay, fully optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is set to launch on February 12, 2027, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
