Crystal Dynamics Drops a Double Feature With Two New Tomb Raider Games
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Crystal Dynamics revealed two new Tomb Raider games at The Game Awards, consisting of a brand-new mainline entry called Tomb Raider Catalyst and a remake titled Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis.
The Game Awards just delivered a massive surprise for franchise fans as Crystal Dynamics pulled back the curtain on two distinct Tomb Raider projects in development. Publisher Amazon Games joined the studio to officially reveal Tomb Raider Catalyst and Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis. Catalyst moves the franchise forward as a brand-new mainline entry, while Legacy of Atlantis revisits Lara Croft's roots with a modern remake of her iconic 1996 debut.
Fans have been waiting for concrete news since Crystal Dynamics first confirmed it was building a new Tomb Raider adventure on Unreal Engine 5 back in 2022. Despite recent industry turbulence and studio restructuring, the development partnership with Amazon appears solid. Legacy of Atlantis will trace Lara's hunt for the mysterious Scion artifact, giving players a complete visual overhaul of the classic expedition that started it all.
For a community that has spent years speculating about the trajectory of the series, getting a mainline sequel and a nostalgic reimagining at the same time is an unexpected win. As player expectations shift toward high fidelity and expansive storytelling, seeing how Crystal Dynamics balances the future of the franchise with its iconic past will be fascinating.
