QuoteSet in the wake of a mythical cataclysm that has unleashed ancient secrets and awakened mysterious guardian forces, Tomb Raider: Catalyst follows Lara Croft on a new adventure across Northern India. When the most notorious treasure hunters from around the world descend on the region, Lara races to uncover the truth buried beneath the fractured landscape and stop those who would use its power for their own gain. As the ancient world collides with the present, Lara must decide who to trust among rivals and allies to prevent a catastrophe and protect a secret that could reshape the future.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Catalyst delivers the largest Tomb Raider world yet, a vertically rich platforming playground of seamless wilderness layered with hidden depths of discovery ranging from towering mountains and vast deserts to dense jungles and mysterious ruins shrouded in myth. This dynamic environment will test both wits and skill. With her signature acrobatic prowess, Lara will traverse a landscape full of secrets, delve into lost tombs packed with intricate puzzles, and solve ancient mysteries using her unmatched brilliance and richly customized adventure tech.
A remake of the original Tomb Raider — titled Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis — has also been announced for 2026.

Also built from the ground up in UE5, it features a gorgeous re-envisioning of iconic environments, immersive sound design, modern gameplay mechanics, and new surprises all while honoring the spirit of the classic.
In both games, Camilla Luddington is succeeded by British actress Alix Wilton Regan as the performer and voice of Lara Croft. Regan has previously done voice work for titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
In addition, a new website, playtombraider.com, has been launched along with dedicated social media channels that promise future news about both titles. The site also offers the option to create an Amazon Games ID account and link it to PSN/Xbox Live/Steam.
