Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios have just dropped a bombshell in the gaming world: two new Tomb Raider games are on their way. And no, I'm not talking about another game in the same series – this time it's a fresh start.
First off, we've got "Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis" set to hit shelves in 2026. What sounds like an exciting title actually turns out to be nothing more than a remake of the first Tomb Raider game from 1997 using the Unreal Engine 5. Yep, you read that right – it's essentially an updated version of a classic, similar to how "Tomb Raider Anniversary" revamped the original PlayStation game for the PS2.
But before we can even catch our breath over this announcement, Crystal Dynamics drops another bombshell: "Tomb Raider Catalyst", set to launch in 2027. And let me tell you, this one's got more buzz surrounding it than a Game Awards ceremony (in fact, Geoff Keighley himself had already hinted at Tomb Raider making an appearance). According to insiders, the new game promises an all-new adventure with Lara Croft, who looks like she's paying homage to her South American roots. Real fans of the series will be stoked to see this direction.
Of course, details are still sketchy on both games, but one thing's for sure – I'll never say no to more Tomb Raider content. Bring it on, 2026 and 2027!

legacy of atlantis is kinda underwhelming tho idk how they managed to turn an old game into a remake what if they actually gave us something entirely new? catalyst sounds way more exciting though lara's new look has me hyped 
would love to see her explore south america for the first time hope it'll be a bit different from other games in the series
.
). Still, I'm curious about what they've got cooking for Catalyst in 2027... fingers crossed it's actually something new and exciting 
. the idea of a remake with all that unreal engine 5 tech is pretty cool too, might be more realistic than some of those other remakes we've seen recently 
. and i love that they're giving lara croft a new direction, it's always been her South American roots that i've loved about her 
. but can we get some details on the story and gameplay already? i'm super curious about what "catalyst" means and how it relates to the games 
! And another one in 2027 with Lara Croft looking all South American chic? 
Can't wait to see more of her adventures 
. Bring on the nostalgia and excitement for these games, can't believe it's finally happening after so long 
a remake of the original tomb raider game using unreal engine 5 sounds like a dream come true!! 
can't wait for more info on that one. but honestly, as long as it's more tomb raider, i'm down 
here are some ascii art Lara Crofts just for fun
Still, if it's gonna be good, I'm all in. The idea of Lara Croft having a new adventure sounds awesome, and if they're paying homage to her roots that's cool too. Maybe this is like a reboot or something? 
I'm so down for an all-new adventure with Lara Croft, and it sounds like she's getting a fresh look - her South American vibes are gonna be so cool! 
.
as for "Tomb Raider Catalyst", i love how they're keeping it under wraps until then, it's like a mystery! 
i've been waiting for like ever since that last game was released... i'm so down for the new games, especially "legacy of atlantis" - a remake of the first one sounds kinda cool. but what's with the second one, "catalyst"? all this buzz is giving me some sorta pre-game fever 
. And that catalyst game sounds super intriguing, more info please! 
. But here's the thing: our excitement isn't always about the end result, but about the journey itself. We get so caught up in what's coming next that we forget to appreciate where we started. In this case, "Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis" is giving old-school Tomb Raider fans a chance to revisit and enjoy some nostalgia – and sometimes, that's all it takes to start loving something again
