- Two Tomb Raider games were announced at The Game Awards 2025
- This includes Legacy of Atlantis, a remake of the first title in the series
- Studio head Scott Amos spoke about the pressure of remaking such an iconic entry in a recent interview
The announcement of not one but two new Tomb Raider games was one of the biggest surprises of The Game Awards 2025.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a remake of the very first game in the series, is coming next year while Tomb Raider: Catalyst, set to launch in 2027. The former will be the first new installment in the series in almost a decade.
Billed as 'a stunning reimaging' of 1996's Tomb Raider, Legacy of Atlantis has a lot to live up to as it seems positioned to bring the series back to its roots after the acclaimed reboot trilogy.

"I think we put the most pressure on ourselves," explained developer Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos in a recent Q&A session attended by TechRadar Gaming.
"We know as fans what we want [...] and everything we do is for the fans," he continued. "We listen very intently to our fans, to the audiences, to the players."
"There's a tremendous pressure to be respectful, but also keep that iconic core that has made this character [of protagonist Lara Croft] enduring for so long."
According to Amos, the team is driven by a desire "to always be better and better each time to maintain that legacy."
