Bad news for Tomb Raider fans: ‘Catalyst’ episode delayed to 2028!

Tomb Raider: Catalyst will not launch before 2028, a revised release window confirmed by Jeffrey Gattis, Head of Amazon Games, in an interview with The Game Business. The game was originally scheduled for a 2027 release, intended to follow Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Gattis clarified the release schedule, stating, “Legacy of Atlantis will arrive on February 12th next year, then we will follow with the next episode in 2028.” This adjustment delays Catalyst’s launch by a year, keeping it within the same subsequent year as originally planned but pushing back the timeline. The initial plan involved releasing a remake of the first Tomb Raider game concurrently with Catalyst, which was to feature entirely new story content. However, these plans have evolved due to project delays. Crystal Dynamics boss Scot Amos had previously discussed the intended scale of these projects. The delay for Tomb Raider: Catalyst is not entirely unexpected. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis was previously postponed from 2026 to February 2027. With two major Tomb Raider titles slated for release in a relatively short period, Amazon Games has opted to delay Catalyst to ensure better distribution of releases within the franchise and avoid direct competition between the projects.
