Amazon Games, Crystal Dynamics, and Flying Wild Hog have announced that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will launch on February 10, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. The full remake of the 1996 Tomb Raider now includes a Switch 2 version, while leaving behind its previously planned 2026 release window.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will no longer arrive in 2026. It is now dated for February 10, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Amazon Games is publishing the remake, with Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog developing it. The Switch 2 version is newly announced, meaning Lara Croft’s classic adventure is being positioned across the full modern platform spread. That is a serious undertaking, because modernizing the first Tomb Raider is both a technical and tonal risk.

The project is a full reimagining of the 1996 Tomb Raider, not a simple visual cleanup. The developers are promising modernized gameplay, rebuilt environments, new surprises, and larger-scale recreations of classic moments. Lara’s search for the lost secrets of Atlantis remains the core of the adventure, but the journey is being rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 with new mechanics and more cinematic encounters. That creates a delicate problem, because the original game’s lonely exploration can be polished away if the remake pushes too hard.

The official description points to a route through Peru, the ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious island wrapped in myth. The classic story will also gain deeper ties to Lara’s future adventures, suggesting that this remake is not only reconstructing an old game. It is trying to place the first Tomb Raider more firmly inside the series’ wider legacy. That can work, but only if it does not erase the cold, solitary exploration that made the original distinct.

The editions are split into three tiers. The Standard Edition includes the base game and an early unlock for the Survivor Outfit as a pre-order bonus, while the Deluxe Edition adds 48 hours of early access, an early unlock for the Parisian Fugitive Outfit, and a post-launch story DLC pack. The Collector’s Edition goes physical with a premium steel case, a Lara Croft versus T-Rex statue, a mini art book, a Croft signet pin, and an Atlantean talisman keychain.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis therefore looks like a bigger undertaking than a quick remake. The question is how much of the original’s strange, solitary rhythm survives the modernization. If Lara’s movement, the pace of the puzzles, and the sense of danger can feel new without flattening the old identity, this could become more than a nostalgia package. It could be a proper entry point.
