Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has been delayed to February 12, 2027, and confirmed for a day-one release on the Nintendo Switch 2, as reported by Polygon.
Lara Croft fans will need to exercise a bit more patience. During the recent PlayStation State of Play showcase, Amazon Game Studios, Crystal Dynamics, and Flying Wild Hog revealed a fresh look at Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis alongside a slight delay. Originally slated for a 2026 release after its initial announcement at The Game Awards in 2025, the ambitious remake of the classic adventure is now locked in for a February 12, 2027 launch. Polygon reports that the latest footage showed off stunning Unreal Engine 5 set pieces, including the iconic dinosaur chase and our first glimpse at the modernized Greece region.
While waiting longer is never fun for a community hungry for a major action-adventure release, the delay comes with some major platform news. Alongside the expected Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X versions, the developers confirmed that the game will also launch on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 on day one. Preorders are already live, ranging from the standard $59.99 option to a $69.99 Deluxe Edition and a massive $199.99 Collector's Edition for dedicated fans of the franchise.
Legacy of Atlantis is designed to serve as a narrative primer for an entirely new mainline entry titled Tomb Raider: Catalyst. Rebuilding the blocky PlayStation and Sega Saturn original into a modern AAA blockbuster gives younger players and long-time fans a fresh entry point into one of gaming's most storied franchises. As digital economies, cross-platform releases, and high-end remakes continue to shape the current console landscape, securing a firm release date and broad hardware support is a strong signal for the series' grand return.
