A reimagining of a classic
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis revisits the narrative that introduced Lara Croft, reframing the 1996 original as a globe-trotting action-adventure.

The project brings together Amazon Game Studios with long-time Tomb Raider steward Crystal Dynamics and studio Flying Wild Hog.
