Two new Tomb Raider games have been announced, releasing in back-to-back years

Last night during The Game Awards we didn't just get one Tomb Raider game announcement, instead we got two. Crystal Dynamics has revealed both Tomb Raider: Catalyst, a brand new mainline game in the series coming in 2027, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a comprehensive remake of the original 1996 game. 

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is targeting a 2026 release window. The game arrives in time for the series' 30th anniversary, celebrating the original Tomb Raider with a comprehensive remake built in Unreal Engine 5. Players will once again take on the role of Lara Croft as she searches for the Scion artifact in a globetrotting adventure spanning across Peru, Greece, Egypt and a mysterious Mediterranean island.

Tomb Raider: Catalyst is a brand-new mainline game in the Tomb Raider series. Targeting a 2027 launch window, in this game players will journey to Northern India to investigate a cataclysm and the mysterious appearance of ancient forces. You won't be the lone treasure hunter investigating here though, so you'll have to deal with more than a few rivals along the way.

Catalyst is set several years after the events of Tomb Raider: Underworld and is said to be a standalone chapter, so newcomers don't need to worry about playing the recent reboot trilogy, or all of the classic games from the PS1, PS2 or PS3 eras.
