Is there a new Tomb Raider game in 2026? After The Game Awards 2025, you all know the answer to this question - Lara Croft fans are eating good, with a new remake arriving this year, followed by a fresh adventure in 2027. So, let's take a look at what you need to know about Miss Croft in 2026.
We love Tomb Raider games at Pocket Tactics, so you can be sure that we're keeping a close eye on all of the news concerning Lara and her games.
Here's everything you need to know about a new Tomb Raider game:
Is there a new Tomb Raider game in 2026?
No. While Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis originally had a 2026 release window, the game is now launching in 2027, meaning there's no brand-new Lara Croft adventure to enjoy this year (though Aspyr ported Rise of the Tomb Raider to Nintendo Switch 2). However, next year should be massive for TR fans, as while Legacy of Atlantis is a complete remake of the 1996 game, Catalyst is a fresh story. In even better news, Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the Survivor trilogy, is at the helm of both games.
In a recent interview we had with Aspyr, the team hinted that remasters for the Legend Trilogy could happen down the line if fans make their voices heard. Considering the studio already released Tomb Raider I-III Remastered and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, I'd wager that there's a high possibility of seeing Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld get the same treatment.
New Tomb Raider game platforms
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Catalyst, meanwhile, is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S - as Legacy of Atlantis is coming to NS2, there's a good chance it'll also come to the console. We'll keep an eye out and let you know of any developments.
What will the new Tomb Raider game be like?
This is a little bit on the nose, but you can guarantee that any new Tomb Raider games will involve searching tombs, exploring caves and ruins, fighting for survival, and searching for historic artifacts. No matter which entry into the series you play, the basics are the same: Lara has her trusty pistols (most of the time, don't get me started on their absence throughout the Survivor trilogy), some pals who are ready to help her, and an evil organization that wants to doom the world - well, cause some sort of problem.
You can always expect plenty of action and combat, more puzzles than might feel necessary, and an inviting story that has you guessing what happens next.
For even more information on what to expect from Legacy of Atlantis specifically, just look at what the first game offers, as LoA is a remake. Still, the story in this year's game is expanded, and it features those famous puzzles and exploration mechanics.
New Tomb Raider game release date speculation
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is due to release on February 12, 2027. As for Catalyst, all we know is that it currently has a launch window of 2027 - we'll let you know as soon as a solid date pops up.
