You may have to wait longer for the next Tomb Raider game: Here is why
When the upcoming Tomb Raider game – Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis – was announced, players across the world got way too excited to try out the game. Tomb Raider has had a special place in our hearts for years and the iconic character will now be seen with next-gen graphics. The game was originally supposed to launch this year. However, as per latest reports, the launch might get delayed. Now this isn't official yet and so the information must be taken with a pinch of salt.

The latest rumours come from content creators who claim to have heard from ' trusted sources' close to Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, the studio assisting with development.
According to the creators, the game could make an appearance at Summer Game Fest in June this year. If that happens, there is a strong chance we will see a fresh trailer that not only showcases updated gameplay but also confirms a revised release date. Current rumoured date is February 12, 2027, although nothing is locked in yet.
If this delay turns out to be accurate, it could have a ripple effect on the broader franchise timeline. Reports suggest that Tomb Raider: Catalyst, which is the next main entry in the series, might also get pushed further down the road. Instead of arriving shortly after the remake, the game could now slip to a 2028 launch window. This would effectively space out major releases in the franchise, possibly giving the developers more time to refine both projects and avoid overlap.
While you wait for the new Tomb Raider games, it is worth playing the older ones. And they are available for free, for a limited time if you are a PS Plus member.
You can claim Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 remastered versions for free in case you are a member and take a trip down the memory lane. But do remember that the games are free only till May 4.
