Building on the Tomb Raider announcements at The Game Awards 2025, Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog have shared more on the 2026 remake of the 1996 classic, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and published by Amazon Games, it modernizes puzzles, combat, and exploration for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Deeper Dive into the Remake
Following the surprise reveal at The Game Awards 2025—celebrating the franchise's 30th anniversary—the Legacy of Atlantis remake revisits Lara Croft's quest for the lost city of Atlantis. The trailer highlighted revamped environments including jungles, ruins, deserts, and islands, with enhanced lighting and animations via Unreal Engine 5.
Development Team and Modernization
Crystal Dynamics leads development alongside Flying Wild Hog, preserving the original's spirit while updating mechanics. Players can expect refined puzzle-solving, combat against foes like dinosaurs, and a deeper narrative on Lara's early drives. Alix Wilton Regan voices Lara Croft, blending classic elements like dual-wielding pistols and acrobatics with current-gen design.
Series Context
This pairs with the announced 2027 title, Tomb Raider: Catalyst—a sequel to the 2008 Underworld set in Northern India post-cataclysm. Together, they mark the series' return since Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018), reintroducing Lara's adventures to new and veteran fans.
