Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Announced, Bringing Lara Croft's Classic Adventure

The development of "Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis" is a collaboration between two renowned game studios, Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.

Amazon Games has taken on the role of lead publisher for this ambitious project, demonstrating a strong commitment to the Tomb Raider franchise.

The game is built on the foundation of Unreal Engine 5, a cutting-edge game engine renowned for its ability to produce realistic graphics and exceptional environmental detail.

The use of this engine ensures that "Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis" will deliver next-generation visual quality.

"Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis" will be available for various console platforms and PC.

Players can enjoy this adventure on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via the Steam platform, ensuring widespread accessibility for gamers.

"Legacy of Atlantis" will relive Lara Croft's first adventure in search of the Scion, an ancient artifact that holds immeasurable power.

Players will explore the brave archaeologist's origin story with a modern twist.

This adventure will take players to exotic and mysterious locations around the world, including the lush jungles of Peru, majestic ruins in Greece, the vast deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious island in the Mediterranean.

The gameplay will emphasize deep exploration, intricate puzzles that test players' wits, as well as stylish acrobatic stunts and intense combat.

Players will also face a variety of deadly predators, including prehistoric creatures like dinosaurs, adding tension to every moment.

Lara Croft's design in this game will be reminiscent of her 1996 appearance, but with a modern twist and richer detail.

The game will continue the "Unified Timeline" first introduced in the Netflix animated series "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft."

This approach allows for the integration of story elements from all previous timelines, creating a more cohesive and rich narrative.

Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis" will be voiced by actress Alix Wilton Regan.

Regan is known for her roles in major titles like "Mass Effect 3" and "Dragon Age: Inquisition," promising deep and characterful voice acting.

Lara Croft's look will blend the classic 1996 design with subtle modern touches.

While retaining her iconic tank top and shorts, she will also wear the familiar jade necklace from the 2013 "Tomb Raider" reboot, bringing together the various eras in one look.

Alongside the announcement of "Legacy of Atlantis," Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games also revealed another new game, "Tomb Raider: Catalyst."

This game is a new entry in the series and is scheduled for release in 2027.

"Tomb Raider: Catalyst" is described as a new, large-scale adventure set in Northern India, promising to explore areas not yet explored in the franchise.

The announcement of these two games simultaneously signals a bright future for Tomb Raider fans.

For interested players, there's a special offer available.

By registering an Amazon Games ID account and linking it to a PlayStation Network or Xbox account, players will be eligible to receive an exclusive "Mediterranean Wetsuit" outfit, which will be available in-game at launch.
