TOMB RAIDER 30TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATED WITH NEW WALLPAPER

[ 28 January 2026 ]

Crystal Dynamics has released a new wallpaper to mark the 30th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series. The artwork depicts Lara Croft, the franchise's protagonist, reflecting the character's evolution since her first appearance in 1996, when she quickly became a notable figure in video game history. The release is part of a series of initiatives planned throughout 2026.

The anniversary programme spans multiple collaborations, including work with publishers, merchandise creators and artists. Contributors such as Dark Horse, Aspyr, Funko and Blend Cota Studios are producing items ranging from comics and collectibles to fine art pieces. These collaborations illustrate the series' continued relevance across different media and its impact on gaming culture over the past three decades.

Later in the year, Crystal Dynamics will release Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, a modern reinterpretation of the original title, built on Unreal Engine 5 and intended for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The wallpaper represents one of the earliest commemorative materials made publicly available, offering fans a visual acknowledgement of the series' history as additional projects are announced.
