Introducing Tomb Raider Catalyst and Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis

 

The gaming industry has been heating up since the end of 2025 with news about upcoming game releases in 2026. The Game Awards 2025 revealed many new games, both in the early stages of the series, at its grand opening. While waiting for the official announcements, numerous trailers for upcoming games in 2026 were unveiled. Among them was the Tomb Raider series, which announced two games simultaneously: Tomb Raider Catalyst and Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, along with their trailers. Let's take a look at what makes these two installments so interesting.

Starting with the most anticipated installment, Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, which boasts stunning graphics and is a complete remake of the original Tomb Raider game from PlayStation 1 in 1996. Everything has been revamped, from the graphics to the story and puzzles, to the point that someone unaware of the changes might mistake it for a new game. According to information, while it's a remake, it includes new gameplay systems, new puzzles, and new locations, ranging from ancient Greek ruins and the Egyptian desert to a mysterious island in the Mediterranean. This has led many to speculate that this remake might even combine the content of all three original Tomb Raider games into one comprehensive remake. Who knows?

Next up is the new Tomb Raider game, titled Tomb Raider Catalyst. This time, the game features a new gameplay element: a grappling hook that can be used in combat and puzzle-solving. The story takes place in northern India, following a major catastrophe that unleashed ancient secrets and mysterious powers, attracting famous treasure hunters from around the world. Lara Croft must race against time to uncover the truth and stop those who seek to exploit this power for their own benefit. Tomb Raider Catalyst is developed using Unreal Engine 5, enabling it to present the largest Tomb Raider world ever created. That's the information we know so far.

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis is scheduled for release in 2026, while Tomb Raider Catalyst is planned for 2027. Those interested should start saving up, especially since Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis is considered by many to be exactly what Tomb Raider fans have been waiting for.
