Tomb Raider: Catalyst - A New Chapter Beyond Underworld (2027)
Crystal Dynamics is revisiting Lara Croft's adventures with two upcoming Tomb Raider games: Legacy of Atlantis, a remake of the original, and Catalyst, which continues the storyline from the trilogy that concluded with Tomb Raider: Underworld. As game director Will Kerslake confirmed, Catalyst picks up the story several years after Underworld, presenting a new chapter in Lara Croft's journey. "Whether you've followed Lara from the beginning or this is your first Tomb Raider game," Kerslake stated, "Catalyst is designed as its own adventure, playable by all." Alix Wilton Regan returns as the voice of Lara Croft in Catalyst. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is slated for release in 2026, followed by Tomb Raider: Catalyst in 2027. In Catalyst, Lara Croft travels to northern India to investigate newly discovered architecture, but her journey will be far from peaceful. Treasure hunters are also seeking the ruins, hoping to uncover valuable artifacts. Players can look forward to challenging puzzles, intense shootouts, acrobatic exploration, and stunning locations when Catalyst arrives in 2027. Ultimately, Catalyst isn't a sequel to Underworld; it's a continuation of that story.
In Case You Missed It
"Exciting news is flooding in from the gaming world! First off, Marcus Thompson shared on PlayersForLife.com that Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games are bringing Lara Croft back with a bang. Mark your calendars for 2026 as they're remaking the original Tomb Raider with 'Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis', powered by Unreal Engine 5, promising an expanded narrative and stunning visuals. Plus, get ready to explore India like never before in 'Tomb Raider: Catalyst'! Meanwhile, Sophie Laurent dropped some thrilling news for Helldivers 2 fans. In her recent post, she revealed that the game will feature returning Killzone elements permanently as a Legendary Warbond, granting access to exclusive weapons and cosmetics from the Killzone universe. Mark your calendars for December 18th when these patterns become available! But that's not all – Laurent also dug into recent Resetera leaks in her piece 'The Game Awards Leaks | Is Tomb Raider's Future a Remake?', suggesting that the upcoming Tomb Raider might be a remake of the original PlayStation game. While it's still just a rumor, fans are eagerly hoping for a return to Lara Croft's roots. So, keep your eyes peeled for Square Enix's official announcement at The Game Awards!"
