Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, scheduled for release in 2026, revisits Lara Croft's first adventure, combining modern visuals and revised gameplay systems with the tone and structure of the original title. Development is being led by Crystal Dynamics, in partnership with Flying Wild Hog, both of which are owned by Embracer Group. Tomb Raider Catalyst, due to launch in 2027, follows Lara to northern India in the aftermath of a mythical cataclysm that has stirred ancient forces.

Both games are being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and are planned for release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
