For all the buzz that Crystal Dynamics created at The Game Awards, signaling the return of Lara Croft in not one but two new titles, fans may have to wait a bit longer. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, planned for this year, is reportedly delayed to February 2027.
This comes courtesy of @RaidersSociety, which previously leaked the game’s existence days before its announcement at TGA 2025. It’s also classifying this news as a rumor since it can’t name sources, so keep that in mind.
While it may seem disappointing, it makes sense considering Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19th. Legacy of Atlantis could launch before that, but it has to contend with other heavy hitters. Marvel’s Wolverine on September 15th, Fable in the Fall, Halo: Campaign Evolved allegedly releasing this Summer – and that’s before accounting for Gears of War: E-Day, the next Call of Duty, and so on.
Some breathing room wouldn’t be too bad, even if Tomb Raider: Catalyst, which takes place years after Underworld, is scheduled for the same year. Since the game wants to be a “love letter by fans, for fans,” some additional time for polish wouldn’t be too bad.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
