Amazon Delays Tomb Raider: Catalyst to 2028 as Legacy of Atlantis Slips to February 2027

Summary

  • Jeffrey Gattis said Amazon will release Tomb Raider: Catalyst in 2028, pushing the new Lara Croft game back from its expected 2027 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
  • Gattis disclosed the delay while outlining Amazon's broader games strategy after relaunching Luna, saying the company will ship Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on Feb. 12, 2027 before Catalyst follows a year later.
  • That extends a stop-start revival Amazon and Crystal Dynamics first announced in 2022 and fully unveiled last December as a two-game plan built around a remake and a brand-new India-set entry.
  • The franchise push has already faced setbacks beyond Catalyst: Legacy of Atlantis was delayed from 2026, the TV series paused after Sophie Turner's back injury before resuming, and Crystal Dynamics confirmed 20 more layoffs in June.
