Lara Croft’s highly anticipated return is going to take a little longer than originally planned. During the June 2 PlayStation State of Play, Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games showcased a stunning extended gameplay trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, while officially confirming that the game has slipped into February 12, 2027.
The ground-up remake of Lara Croft’s iconic 1996 debut adventure was previously targeted for a late 2026 window. However, the development teams at Crystal Dynamics and co-developer Flying Wild Hog are taking a few extra months to fully polish the title’s massive architectural and graphical leap.
The extended look at gameplay confirms that the remake preserves the isolation and danger of the original 32-bit masterpiece while completely overhauling its technical scope:
“Experience a stunning recreation of Lara Croft’s debut adventure to uncover the lost secrets of Atlantis with jaw-dropping visuals, innovative gameplay, and new surprises that honor the spirit of the original.”
When Lara’s rebuilt origin story arrives in early 2027, it will drop with multiplatform parity. Alongside the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) versions.
