Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis appears delayed to February 2027

The Tomb Raider remake that was supposed to land in 2026 now has a new date: February 2027, according to a since-deleted Amazon product listing. Dataminer Wario64 caught the page before it came down, revealing a February 10 release date — a finding corroborated by the Tombs, Tea & Trauma podcast, which cited February 12 internally. Crystal Dynamics has not made an official statement.

The slip

The game was announced at The Game Awards in December 2025 with a broad 2026 window. Fan speculation had pointed to October 2026, which would have aligned with the franchise's 30th anniversary — the original Tomb Raider launched in October 1996 on Sega Saturn. A February 2027 release misses that milestone entirely.

The delay also clears the way for GTA 6, widely expected in November 2026. Launching a mid-budget remake in the same holiday quarter as Rockstar's most anticipated release in a decade would be a tough ask, per GameSpot. The reshuffle looks strategic, even if unconfirmed.

The game itself

Legacy of Atlantis is a full rebuild of the 1996 original, constructed in Unreal Engine 5. Locations like Greece, Egypt, and Peru get a ground-up visual overhaul. The blocky Lara Croft of the original era is gone — this version brings a new voice performance from Alix Wilton Regan and a difficulty balance tuned for players who didn't grow up wrestling with the original's punishing tank controls.

It is co-developed by Flying Wild Hog, a Polish studio, under Crystal Dynamics and published by Amazon Game Studios. This is the second remake of the 1996 title — the first was Tomb Raider: Anniversary in 2007.

Pricing and platforms

The leaked Amazon page listed a Steam Standard Edition at $59.99 and a Deluxe Edition at $69.99. Console pricing for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S was not included in the leaked data — regional pricing for the UK is also unconfirmed. Post-launch DLC was noted as planned. An official announcement is expected at Summer Game Fest on June 5, reports Vice.
