Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Set for February 12, 2027 Release

Publishers opened pre-orders across major platforms while a Steam notice disclosed limited AI-assisted work that developers say was replaced or refined by humans.

Overview

  • Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios confirmed at PlayStation’s State of Play on Tuesday, June 2 that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will launch on February 12, 2027 and released a new trailer showing gameplay and key set pieces.
  • The remake will ship on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch 2, and pre-orders are live in Standard, Deluxe and Collector’s Editions with prices reported at $59.99, $69.99 and $199.99 respectively.
  • Built in Unreal Engine 5 by Flying Wild Hog with Crystal Dynamics’ involvement, the game reimagines the 1996 original with expanded, semi-connected environments, rebuilt puzzles and combat, classic locales from Peru to Egypt and encounters that include dinosaurs.
  • The game’s Steam page carries an AI-generated content disclosure saying AI-assisted tools were used for early exploration and temporary content and that any AI-assisted assets were replaced or refined by humans, a point noted alongside recent studio layoffs and wider industry debate over generative AI.
  • With Legacy of Atlantis positioned as a narrative bridge into the upcoming Tomb Raider: Catalyst, the immediate watch points are player reaction to the AI disclosure, how the Deluxe early-access window is handled, and Crystal Dynamics’ ability to deliver both projects while managing staff changes.
