"We're not trying to replace it. This is very much a love letter": Why Crystal Dynamics is remaking the original Tomb Raider (again)
Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog are developing Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a remake of the original 1996 game, set for a February 2027 release. This project, described as a 'love letter' to the original, aims to recreate the classic experience with modern technology and gameplay enhancements, while also acknowledging the use of AI for early prototyping. The remake is part of a broader trend of game remakes, with Crystal Dynamics also working on a new narrative-driven title, Tomb Raider Catalyst, for a 2027 release.
