Lara Croft turns thirty this year, which is roughly the age at which most of us stop attempting a swan dive into anything we cannot see the bottom of. She has not. The official Tomb Raider account has been giving Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis another airing on X, with the teaser embedded above, and the remake is now fixed for Friday 12 February 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Switch 2.
It is, strictly, a late arrival. Crystal Dynamics and Poland’s Flying Wild Hog are rebuilding Lara’s 1996 debut from scratch in Unreal Engine 5 for publisher Amazon Games, and the plan was originally for 2026, the anniversary year itself. The delay was confirmed at Sony’s State of Play in June, so the birthday present will turn up a few months after the party, as birthday presents do.
The birthday has a Derbyshire accent. Lara was dreamed up at Core Design in Derby, the studio that sent a whole PlayStation and Saturn generation’s idea of an adventure hero off to Peru, Greece, Egypt and a mythical island in search of the Scion, an Atlantean artefact that nobody was ever going to leave lying about. Anyone who played the original will remember the tank controls, the wolves, the jumps that took years off your life and the Lost Valley, where a Tyrannosaurus rex turned up uninvited and did more for the game’s reputation than any marketing budget. The remake follows much the same itinerary, and the Collector’s Edition at $199.99 comes with a statue of Lara versus the T-rex. The dinosaur has waited thirty years for its own merchandise.
Lara is voiced by Alix Wilton Regan, known for Dragon Age: Inquisition and Cyberpunk 2077, who takes over from Camilla Luddington. Pre-orders come in three flavours: Standard at $59.99 with the Survivor Outfit, which lets her revisit the Lost Valley dressed as her 2013 self; Deluxe at $69.99, adding 48 hours of early access, a Parisian Fugitive outfit and a post-launch story DLC pack; and the Collector’s Edition with the statue.
Early previews have called it gorgeous to look at and a little unsteady to play, which is the traditional condition of a Tomb Raider that has not yet had its ledges tidied. Behind it, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, a new Lara adventure, is also on Amazon’s slate, so the plan is plainly bigger than one remake.
Thirty years on, the question is the same one the original asked: can Lara get across a gap without the player swearing at the camera? We shall find out in February.
