Lara Croft Roars Back: Two Massive Tomb Raider Games Unveiled at The Game Awards 2025

The Peacock Theater erupted last night as Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games dropped a double bombshell at The Game Awards: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a jaw-dropping reimagining of Lara Croft’s 1996 debut, launches in 2026, followed by Tomb Raider: Catalyst, the franchise’s biggest adventure yet, in 2027. Trailers blending Unreal Engine 5 visuals with classic chaos—think Peru jungles, Egyptian deserts, Greek ruins, and Atlantis teases—have fans raiding X with over 180K views on official clips in hours. “Lara Croft is BACK!!!” trended worldwide, drowning out gripes with pure hype.

Legacy of Atlantis honors the OG with modern twists: acrobatic traversal, deadly puzzles, lethal predators (hello, dinosaurs?), and the hunt for the Scion artifact across treacherous locales. Lara’s new voice? Alix Wilton Regan, channeling fierce determination in a trailer narrated by Croft herself: “Some legends are destined to be retold.” PS5 players snag an exclusive Mediterranean Wetsuit by linking an Amazon Games iD.

Catalyst ups the ante in Northern India post-mythical cataclysm: seamless jungles, towering mountains, hidden ruins, rival decisions, and “the largest Tomb Raider adventure to date.” Expect athletic platforming and narrative depth from Crystal Dynamics.

Amazon publishes both, tying into their Prime Gaming push. X is ablaze: “MOTHER” for Lara’s stunning redesign (@tombraiderbra_), dino cheers (“DINOSAURS ARE FINALLY BACK” @Krusty935), and Uncharted shade (“Tomb Raider fans: LFG / Uncharted fans: ” @realradec). Purists love the classic vibes; some whine about “photorealism ruining it” (@YorchTorchGames).

Wishlist now at playtombraider.com—30th anniversary gold incoming. Lara’s tomb-raiding empire rises again. Who’s dual-wielding those pistols first?
