The 2013 Tomb Raider reboot's recent arrival on Nintendo Switch has elicited a passionate community response, leading port developer Aspyr to consider bringing the trilogy's sequels, Rise and Shadow, to the platform. Aspyr acknowledged the demand but stopped short of announcements. This development follows the successful reintroduction of classic Tomb Raider games to Nintendo hardware.
The rebooted Tomb Raider series began in 2013 with Lara Croft's perilous journey to the storm-swept island of Yamatai, developed by Crystal Dynamics. The story continued in Rise of the Tomb Raider, set in the icy expanses of Siberia, and concluded in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, amid the jungles of South America.
Just weeks ago—or last month, depending on reports—Aspyr shadow-dropped Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The move has sparked enthusiasm among players eager to complete Lara's arc on Nintendo consoles.
Aspyr told Nintendo Everything that it has noted the interest: "We have definitely seen this question." The studio highlighted its prior efforts: "We've successfully brought back the classic era (1-6) and now the 'origin story' of Lara Croft to modern Nintendo platforms."
Product manager Jordon Reese added, "We can't announce anything at the moment but the passionate response to this release is strong encouragement for us to continue exploring those possibilities." Aspyr also plans additional patches for the Switch ports, though details remain undisclosed.
Beyond ports, the franchise is expanding. A remake, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, arrives in 2026, followed by new entry Tomb Raider: Catalyst in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Voice actress Camilla Luddington bid farewell to Lara, passing the role to Alix Wilton Regan.
An Amazon Prime Video series featuring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, with Sigourney Weaver, Martin Bobb-Semple, and Jason Isaacs in supporting roles, is in production, with filming set to begin next month—though no release date is confirmed.
