Crystal Dynamics reveals reimagined Egypt in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics have released the tenth episode of a mini-documentary series detailing the development of ‘Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis’. This installment focuses on the reimagining of the Egypt level, a key setting from the original 1996 game.

Developers aim to balance nostalgia with modern standards, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 to create highly detailed environments. While the Egyptian locations will remain recognizable to long-time fans, the team is introducing new narrative elements and more complex puzzles centered around the Egyptian pantheon. The gameplay will feature increased vertical scale and a focus on exploration through narrow tunnels and large chambers, utilizing tools like a flashlight to navigate dark ruins.

Developed in partnership with Flying Wild Hog, the title is scheduled for release on February 12, 2027. Confirmed platforms include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
