Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Delayed to February 2027, Adds Switch 2

The release of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is now February 10, 2027, which is a delay from its original planned date. A new version for the Nintendo Switch 2 has also been confirmed.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the anticipated reimagining of the original game, has seen its release date pushed back to February 10, 2027. The shift was confirmed through new trailer reveals and subsequent developer announcements, aligning with a new leak that had circulated prior to Sony's State of Play showcase. Alongside the delay, a version for the Nintendo Switch 2 has also been newly announced.

The game, developed using Unreal Engine 5, is slated to launch on PC and consoles. Amazon Games and Crystal Dynamics are behind this project, which aims to recreate the foundational adventure of Lara Croft with modernized gameplay and visuals. The narrative centers on Lara Croft's quest to uncover the secrets of Atlantis and locate scattered pieces of the Scion artifact, promising a blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and encounters with environmental hazards and wildlife.

Editions and Pricing Details Emerge

Multiple editions of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis have been detailed, with pre-orders now open. The Standard Edition will be priced at $59.99 (£54.99 / €69.99 / ¥10,450), including the game and pre-order bonus content for an early unlock of a Survivor Outfit. The Deluxe Edition, set at $69.99 (£64.99 / €79.99 / ¥12,210), bundles everything from the Standard Edition along with 48 hours of early access, Digital Deluxe content, and an early unlock of the Parisian Fugitive Outfit, plus a post-launch story pack. A more comprehensive Collector's Edition is available for $199.99, encompassing all Deluxe Edition contents, a premium steel case, a T-Rex statue, a mini art book, a Croft signet pin, and an Atlantean talisman keychain.

Context of the Delay

The delay of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis positions it away from the anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, which was initially expected around the same timeframe. However, this new release window places it in direct competition with the upcoming Fable title. The announcement follows reports of development challenges, including recent layoffs at Crystal Dynamics. The decision to delay, while a common occurrence in game development, comes after the studio experienced its fourth round of layoffs within the past year.
