[ 13 August 2026 ]
Tomb Raider Catalyst is now expected to launch in calendar year 2028, according to Embracer Group's latest interim report presentation. The updated guidance replaces the previous expectation of a release during the 2027 calendar year. The change means Crystal Dynamics' next mainline Tomb Raider game will not launch until 2028. Embracer has not provided a specific release date or month.
Tomb Raider Catalyst, co-developed by Crystal Dynamics, Flying Wild Hog and Eidos-Montreal, is the next mainline instalment in the franchise and follows Lara Croft to Northern India. The story centres on a mythical cataclysm that has unearthed ancient secrets and reawakened dormant guardian forces.
Tomb Raider Catalyst is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and is scheduled for release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
