During last December\u2019s Game Awards however, Croft and co. finally returned with <a style=\"color: #980000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitguru.net\/gaming\/matthew-wilson\/two-new-tomb-raider-games-have-been-announced-releasing-in-back-to-back-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\">the announcement of two new projects<\/a> \u2013 Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst. While the first of these two was initially planned to launch some time in 2026, insiders have now claimed that Legacy of Atlantis has been pushed back to early 2027.\n<\/p>\n<p>As reported by the Tomb Raider-focused \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/xcancel.com\/RaidersSociety\/status\/2041125891640582257\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Society of Raiders<\/a>\u2019 (who accurately detailed the Game Awards announcements prior to their official unveilings), the first of these two projects \u2013 Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis \u2013 \u201cis rumored to be released in February 2027.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>This marks a shift from its officially-announced release window, with the title <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitguru.net\/gaming\/matthew-wilson\/two-new-tomb-raider-games-have-been-announced-releasing-in-back-to-back-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">previously stated<\/a> to be arriving some time this year.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitguru.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/50e2d914c211a2e9f0cce13b1e631719aa0c888f3f993bf9.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[733630] nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-733641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/50e2d914c211a2e9f0cce13b1e631719aa0c888f3f993bf9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tomb Raider Croft\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\"  \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/xcancel.com\/RaidersSociety\/status\/2041189041635197038#m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pitched as a mere rumour<\/a> (due to their sources being kept anonymous) Society of Raiders did correctly identify the announcements of Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst prior to their official announcements, and so this latest claim does carry some weight.\n<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, Legacy of Atlantis is said to be a full-blown remake of the OG 1996 Tomb Raider built using Unreal Engine 5. Initially, the game was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitguru.net\/gaming\/matthew-wilson\/two-new-tomb-raider-games-have-been-announced-releasing-in-back-to-back-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">scheduled to arrive some time this year<\/a>, with Catalyst (a brand new mainline entry) releasing a year later in 2027.\n<\/p>\n<p>Assuming this latest delay is true however, it will be interesting to see whether we\u2019ll be getting two new Tomb Raider games next year, or if Catalyst will also be pushed back as a result.\n<\/p>\n<p>KitGuru says: Which of the two upcoming games are you more excited for?
