While Geoff Keighley had already announced that Tomb Raider would be making a Game Awards appearance, the surprise was that instead of one game announcement there’s two. Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios are releasing two Tomb Raider games back-to-back in 2026 and 2027. First up, coming in 2026 is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Don’t let the fancy name fool you though, Legacy of Atlantis is the Unreal Engine 5 version of the first Tomb Raider game, a remake similar to Tomb Raider Anniversary which updated the 1997 original PlayStation game for the PS2.

But that’s not all. In 2027, the Tomb Raider team will release another game, Tomb Raider Catalyst which is an all new adventure that looks like it features an all new Lara. Real Tomb Raider heads know that Lara Croft was originally envisioned as Laura Cruz, a South American woman, before she was British-ed her up to what we know today. The woman in Catalyst looks like a Lara paying homage to her origins as a woman of color. We don’t know much about either game, but hey, I’ll never be mad that I’m getting two new Tomb Raiders to play.
