Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis shows remake footage for the series' 30th anniversary

Tomb Raider turns 30 this week, and the remake of Lara Croft's first adventure has marked the occasion with a new teaser. The "30th Anniversary" trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis shows how classic moments from the 1996 original look in the new version, and it gives fans a fresh look at a game due in early 2027.

What the trailer shows

According to Polygon, the new footage revisits well-known scenes from the 1996 Tomb Raider, rebuilt in the remake's updated visuals. Polygon described the results as "dazzling".

Gematsu reports that publisher Amazon Games and developers Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog released the teaser. The pairing of Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog is the team behind the remake.

Steam's store page lists Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis for PC with a release date of February 12, 2027. It is classed as an action-adventure game, and the listing describes it as a reimagining of Lara Croft's debut adventure, in which she looks for the lost secrets of Atlantis.

Aspyr's anniversary video

The remake isn't the only Tomb Raider news this week. Nintendo Life reports that Aspyr has released its own celebration trailer for the anniversary. It showcases the games that this team has helped revive in recent years, including the collections.

Nintendo Life also notes that earlier in the week the third entry in Lara Croft's "Survivor" trilogy was shadow-dropped on Switch 2. A shadow drop means the game appeared without a lead-up announcement, and the timing lines up with the series' 30th anniversary.

Why it matters

Thirty years is a long time for a series to stay in the spotlight, and the week's releases show Tomb Raider leaning on both its past and its future. The remake teaser looks back at where Lara started, while the Switch 2 release and Aspyr's video cover the recent run of revived games.

For anyone who never played the original, or who remembers it fondly, the February 2027 date on Steam gives a clear target to circle on the calendar. Until then, this teaser is the best look yet at how the first adventure is being rebuilt.
