Wondering when Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will come out? Here’s the latest: a recent rumor suggests the game might be delayed from 2026 to February 2027, but Crystal Dynamics hasn‘t confirmed this. The rumor started with one source – an X (formerly Twitter) account called Society of Raiders – and that’s why it’s gaining attention, but it’s not official yet.
Why this rumor is getting attention
It would be easy to dismiss this information if it came from an unknown source, but that’s not the case. Several reports indicate this account, Society of Raiders, previously leaked details about the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis before its official announcement at The Game Awards 2025, lending some weight to the current claims. However, it’s still unconfirmed, and even the original source of the rumor has presented it as speculation, as they can’t reveal where they got the information.
What the rumored delay actually says
The rumor is simple: a leaked report suggests the new Tomb Raider game, previously expected in 2026, is now slated for release in February 2027. That’s all there is to the story so far. Crystal Dynamics hasn’t officially confirmed this, and no other reliable sources have corroborated the information yet.
What Crystal Dynamics has officially said so far
It’s important to rely on official information and not just rumors regarding the new Tomb Raider game. Crystal Dynamics has confirmed they’re working on the project, aiming to update the gameplay for modern audiences while still including classic Tomb Raider elements like puzzles, combat, and action-packed sequences. While the game was originally announced for 2026, reports of a delay to 2027 haven’t been officially confirmed.
Why some fans think a delay is believable
The rumor has persisted partly because of when it surfaced. Both PSU and iXBT have noted that Crystal Dynamics has had several layoffs recently, making fans more likely to believe a delay could happen. However, this is where many reports start to go too far. While layoffs explain why people might suspect a delay, they don’t actually prove that one is happening.
The Tomb Raider: Catalyst speculation is still just speculation
To clarify, a rumor about a delay to the ‘Legacy of Atlantis’ expansion sparked fan concerns that ‘Tomb Raider: Catalyst’ might also be pushed back, possibly until 2028. However, VICE reports that this later speculation didn’t come from the original source. It’s simply fans theorizing, not a new leak. The report also points out that ‘Catalyst’ is being developed with Amazon Game Studios, and ‘Legacy of Atlantis’ has support from Flying Wild Hog, meaning the development timelines for the two aren’t necessarily connected.
What to believe right now
The most straightforward explanation for the delay of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis – that it’s now expected in February 2027 – isn’t very dramatic, and it’s still just a rumor. While the source of this information has been accurate in the past, no news outlet has officially confirmed the delay. Until Crystal Dynamics makes a public statement, it’s best to treat this as unconfirmed.
We’ll need an official announcement from Crystal Dynamics to know for sure if the next Lara Croft game is still planned for 2026, or if it’s been delayed to early 2027.
