- There were rumors that Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis had been delayed to 2027.
- One of the support studios has reconfirmed that it is indeed still planned for 2026.
- The title is a faithful remake of the original game built in Unreal Engine 5.
Originally revealed at The Game Awards 2025, the announcement of the Tomb Raider caught everyone by pleasant surprise. While it was announced for a 2026 release at the event, rumors pointed to a delay to 2027.
However, one of the support studios working with Crystal Dynamics on Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis has reaffirmed the 2026 release, putting the rumors to rest. This means we might get a concrete release date very soon.
Why it matters: The studio has been going through hell, with constant layoffs, restructuring, and multiple project cancellations in the last few years, so many anticipated that to be the reason for the rumored delay.
Electric Square, one of the support studios on Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, pinned a note on LinkedIn revealing its contribution to the upcoming remake and reaffirming the 2026 release window, but still no proper date.
This clears out the rumors and confirms that it will indeed be released this year. With the Summer Game Fest coming up, we might get the release date soon. This also suggests Tomb Raider Catalyst is still on track as well.
Anyhow, even with the troubles at Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider is one franchise that they’ve never gotten wrong. The trailers have also promised great potential, so the expectations are already quite high.
