Release date set for Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, a reimagining of the 1996 game that launched the Tomb Raider franchise, is set to be released on February 12, 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

A true reinvention, not just a remake

According to its creators, the game will not simply be a remake but a true reinvention. The developers aim to retain the most iconic moments of the original game, ensuring they remain "almost intact," as explained by Michał Kuk, creative director of the game at Flying Wild Hog, in an interview with the magazine EDGE.

Modernization and new elements

The game will also introduce new elements and modernize aspects of the original, including changes to conventions from previous remakes such as Tomb Raider Anniversary. Jeff Adams, experience director at Crystal Dynamics, noted that certain elements of the original version pose challenges for the developers, such as the inclusion of a first-aid kit in a tomb sealed for 10,000 years.

Clarifying the term "reinvention"

Raul Siqueira, director of Legacy of Atlantis at Crystal Dynamics, emphasized that the term "reinvention" is used to highlight the differences between the original 1996 version, Anniversary, and previous remastered versions, noting that the game includes changes, modernization, and new elements not present before.

Integration into the new timeline

The game will be integrated into the new timeline initiated with the 2013 reboot.
