Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Confirmed as Remake of 1996 Original with Classic Lara Croft

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is officially a remake of the franchise's first game from 1996. According to Polygon, the game brings Lara Croft in her most recognizable look: blue tank top, khaki shorts, and big boots — a nostalgia-driven return that stands apart from the grittier tone of the recent trilogy. The title launches in 2027 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, aiming to recapture the spirit of the original adventurer. This classic-focused approach marks a departure from the darker themes that defined the latest entries in the series.
