Revision 1

The Scion is described as an artifact of immeasurable power, tied to the lost civilization of Atlantis. It does not exist as a single whole at the start of Lara Croft's adventure; its pieces are scattered across the world. Recovering every piece is the central objective that drives Legacy of Atlantis from its opening to its conclusion.

Connection to Atlantis

Atlantis is the lost civilization at the heart of Legacy of Atlantis, and the game's title references the Scion's origins. Official materials name the Scion's three creators, Qualopec, Tihocan, and Natla. Natla is referenced as an antagonist carried over into the reimagining. The studio has confirmed expanded storytelling and new surprises accompany the hunt. Specific details of the Scion's powers and its full Atlantean history have not been confirmed for the new version, and in the original game's story they form part of the plot that the reimagining may rework.

The Hunt Across Four Regions

The scattered pieces of the Scion draw Lara to four confirmed locations: the jungles of Peru, ancient ruins in Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious Mediterranean island. The developers have not detailed how many pieces exist, how they are distributed, or what opposition Lara encounters at each site beyond references to lethal predators and deadly contraptions.

What Is Not Confirmed

The exact nature of the Scion's power, its detailed history within Atlantean civilization, and the full roster of those who oppose Lara's recovery efforts have not been confirmed in pre-release materials. Those details are expected to emerge through the game's storytelling. Plot specifics from the 1996 original are not confirmed beat-for-beat for this reimagining.
