Crystal Dynamics and developer Flying Wild Hog have officially pulled back the curtain on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a comprehensive remake of the seminal 1996 classic. The debut trailer introduces a Lara Croft who serves as a bridge between eras, combining her iconic original silhouette with the visual fidelity of modern hardware. The footage promises a return to the franchise’s roots, featuring high-stakes platforming, intricate environmental puzzles, and the series’ legendary encounters with prehistoric predators.
The reimagined adventure is slated to launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.
Built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5, this partnership between Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog aims to marry breathtaking aesthetics with contemporary gameplay mechanics. While the project introduces fresh surprises, it remains deeply committed to the haunting atmosphere and sense of isolation that defined the original experience. As the world’s most famous archaeologist, players will traverse forgotten civilizations and outmaneuver lethal traps in a global race to recover the fragments of the Scion—an artifact of unimaginable power.

This announcement marks a busy era for the franchise. Following the conclusion of the “Survivor” trilogy in 2018 with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics initially teased a move to Unreal Engine 5 back in 2022. Legacy of Atlantis appears to be a major pillar of this new direction, arriving shortly after the studio announced Tomb Raider: Catalyst, an entirely new standalone adventure set in Northern India.
