Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is official: it links the Survivor trilogy to Lara Croft’s prime

Crystal Dynamics has made it official: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, with a February 2027 release window in mind. The studio is pitching Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis as a new spin on classic Tomb Raider, while still carrying over the story and gameplay DNA of the Survivor trilogy.

Raul Siqueira and Jeff Adams say this version of Lara Croft is older , more confident, and fully in her prime. The Survivor games still count, and they still matter, but they now seem to sit as one chapter in Lara’s past rather than the full definition of who she is.

Crystal Dynamics is also going back to the ideas, places, and visual touchstones of the 1996 original. Just not as a scene-by-scene remake.

On the gameplay front, Legacy of Atlantis keeps the trilogy’s big cinematic moments, but puts more weight back on exploration and puzzle-solving. Legacy of Atlantis also brings in a wrist-mounted grappling hook, a Focus ability that slows combat, and Lara Croft’s trademark dual pistols.

The studio says the T-Rex encounter has been redesigned to feel tenser and bigger in scale. Lara Croft is now voiced by Alix Wilton Regan, taking over from Camilla Luddington, and Legacy of Atlantis is being built in Unreal Engine 5 with Flying Wild Hog helping on development.

If you liked the Survivor games and kept wishing they leaned a little harder into that older Tomb Raider feel, this will probably sound promising. Legacy of Atlantis also sits inside a wider franchise push that includes Tomb Raider: Catalyst and a live-action Amazon Prime Video series.

For now, Legacy of Atlantis is aiming for February 2027, though reports still split on the exact date. Some point to February 12. Others say February 27. Either way, Legacy of Atlantis is set for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.
