Crystal Dynamics returns to Lara Croft, the first new direction for the character since the survivor trilogy closed.

About Tomb Raider: Catalyst

Crystal Dynamics is taking Lara Croft in a new direction with Tomb Raider: Catalyst, revealed at The Game Awards in December 2025 with Amazon Games publishing. It is set in northern India after a cataclysm out of myth has torn open the landscape and exposed what was buried under it, drawing rival collectors from across the globe to the region. This is the first real reinvention of the character since the survivor trilogy closed with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and it is a separate project from Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.

The announced window is 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, but it looks likely to move. Amazon's games chief said in 2026 that Legacy of Atlantis arrives in February 2027 and the next Tomb Raider would follow in 2028, while Amazon's formal position stayed at 2027 and the game's own site kept listing that year. Embracer's financial filings place it in the fiscal year running April 2027 to March 2028. Treat 2027 as the optimistic reading.
