Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis – 2026

Legacy of Atlantis is presented as a true reimagining of Lara’s 1996 debut, aligning with the series’ 30th anniversary in 2026. The campaign spans classic locales – the jungles of Peru, the ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a myth‑tinted Mediterranean island – as Lara hunts the scattered pieces of the Scion artifact.

• Scope and structure: a modern rework of the original adventure that preserves its discovery‑driven ethos.
• Core gameplay: traversal across hazardous terrain, stylish acrobatics through lost tombs, environmental traps and contraptions, and intricate puzzles with layered secrets.
• Development: created in partnership between Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.
• Platform: PlayStation 5.

Tomb Raider: Catalyst – 2027

Set against a mythical cataclysm that awakens ancient guardians, Catalyst follows Lara across a fractured Northern India as she pursues the truth before rival treasure hunters seize its power. The studio bills it as the franchise’s largest adventure to date, blending rivalries, fragile alliances, and high‑stakes exploration.

• World design: a vertically layered wilderness tailored for platforming, with dense jungles, towering mountains, and deep ruins hiding optional routes and secrets.
• Toolkit: customizable adventure tech supports traversal, exploration, and problem‑solving.
• Focus: a mix of athletic prowess and puzzle‑minded investigation in environments designed for discovery.
• Platform: PlayStation 5.
