Tom Raider is slowly moving toward its golden days with projects spanning both streaming and gaming platforms.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is currently under development by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog and is set to release on February 12, 2027. It is a remake of the original 1990s Tomb Raider, which first introduced the iconic character Lara Croft to gamers. Originally, the game was planned for a 2026 release but was pushed back to make adjustments and ensure that the final product meets gamers’ expectations. The delay is not surprising, as the remake will carry high expectations from gamers. So, Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog studios want to make sure they get every detail right. The game is published by Amazon Game Studios.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is not the only game currently in development. Crystal Dynamics is also working on Tomb Raider: Catalyst, an entirely new story. The game is published by Amazon Game Studios. Currently, there is no official release date, but some reports suggest that Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics are planning to release the game in mid-2028.
Tom Raider Amazon Series
Amazon Prime Video is developing a live-action Tomb Raider series, with Sophie Turner taking over the role of Lara Croft and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as writer and producer. With Turner taking over the role of Croft, it will be a big boost for the franchise, as a new generation of viewers will get introduced to the character outside of gaming.
It’s worth noting that reboots and remakes carry a unique kind of pressure, since they’re often judged not just on their own merits, but against beloved originals that shaped childhoods and gaming habits for an entire generation. Legacy of Atlantis, in particular, will need to strike a careful balance between honoring the mechanics and tone that made the original so influential while still feeling modern enough for today’s players.
For now, fans will have to be patient as both the television series and the two upcoming games continue moving through development. But with a strong creative team behind the show and two ambitious new titles on the way, this next chapter for Tomb Raider looks like it could be one of the franchise’s most significant expansions in years, giving both longtime fans and newcomers plenty to look forward to across the next few years.
