The rumors were true: Tomb Raider returns with two major titles, exciting fans worldwide. The announcements came just before The Game Awards.
The first game, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, is set for release next year. It celebrates the franchise’s 30th anniversary and is a full reimagining of the 1996 PlayStation classic. Developed by Crystal Dynamics in collaboration with Flying Wild Hog, the game features upgraded visuals and gameplay far beyond the original. The official trailer highlights stunning environments and intense action, promising fans a fresh yet nostalgic experience.
The second title, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, is a completely new entry expected in 2027. Published by Amazon Game Studios, Catalyst will unify the timelines of the classic Tomb Raider games and the modern reboot trilogy. Described as the “largest Tomb Raider world yet,” the game is set mainly in Northern India, following a mythical cataclysm that reveals ancient secrets.
Players will guide Lara Croft through dangerous landscapes filled with rival treasure hunters. Decisions about trust and combat will be crucial as she wields her iconic dual pistols. The narrative hints at continuity between the two projects, with Catalyst referencing Lara’s journey to Atlantis in Legacy of Atlantis.
Alix Wilton Regan will voice Lara Croft in both titles. Regan is known for her roles in Mass Effect 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, bringing experience and depth to the legendary character.
Both Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The return of the franchise with these two games marks a milestone for Tomb Raider fans, offering a mix of nostalgia, expanded storytelling, and modern gameplay.
With Tomb Raider returns confirmed through two ambitious projects, gamers can look forward to exploring new worlds and uncovering ancient mysteries alongside the iconic Lara Croft. The franchise’s blend of adventure, action, and storytelling promises a thrilling future.
