Revision 1

Legacy of Atlantis tells the story of Lara Croft's hunt for the scattered pieces of the Scion, an artifact of immeasurable power belonging to the lost civilization of Atlantis. The premise mirrors the core concept of the original 1996 game, but the studio has been clear that the storytelling is expanded and that new surprises accompany the familiar framework. Specific plot details beyond this premise have not been revealed ahead of launch.

Expanded Storytelling

Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog have described the game as honoring the spirit and atmosphere of the original while incorporating new storytelling elements. The studio has used the phrasing of expanded storytelling and new surprises to indicate that Legacy of Atlantis goes beyond a straightforward retelling. What those surprises entail has been kept confidential ahead of launch to preserve the narrative experience.

Alix Wilton Regan voices Lara Croft, lending a distinct performance to this version of the character.

Relationship to the Original Game

Legacy of Atlantis is a reimagining of the first 1996 game rather than a remaster. It keeps the central hunt for the Scion across Peru, Greece, Egypt, and the Mediterranean while rebuilding combat and exploration. A separate Tomb Raider title, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, was announced for 2027; it is a different game and is not the same project as Legacy of Atlantis.

What Is Not Confirmed

Several story elements have not been confirmed in pre-release materials. The full antagonist roster beyond the carried-over reference to Natla has not been detailed. The exact structure of the hunt across the four confirmed regions, including how the Scion pieces are distributed and what story events accompany each recovery, has not been detailed. The ending and any connection to Catalyst's events are not publicly known.

This wiki will be updated with accurate story information after the game's release. Speculative content or information drawn from other franchise entries will not be added to these articles.
