Developed in partnership between Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog,Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis sets a new standard for re-envisioning a classic by masterfully balancing innovation with gaming heritage, capturing the wonder and excitement that defined a genre while igniting a new sense of discovery through expanded storytelling. 

Whether you're a veteran raider or new to Lara's world, Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis delivers jaw-dropping visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, modern game design, and new surprises, while honoring the spirit and atmosphere of Lara Croft's debut adventure.

Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics have just released the sixth in a series of mini-documentaries on the making of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a stunning reimagining of Lara Croft’s defining 1996 debut adventure.

This episode focuses on how the Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog teams evolved combat and progression for modern audiences with systems designed to celebrate every aspect of Lara Croft. The team deep dives into the Focus system, various weapons Lara will wield throughout her adventure including her iconic dual pistols, and highlights the distinct playstyles each weapon offers to combat and counter enemies.

“One of our main gameplay changes to Legacy of Atlantis we’re introducing is a system called Focus,” states Raul Siqueira, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Game Director. “When you’re doing actions in combat, taking damage, dealing damage, dodging attacks, you’re building your Focus meter. Focus allows you to slow down time around you and showcase some of the things that Lara used to do in ‘96. The acrobatic component is really important for the character, so we wanted to make sure there was a way on the sticks for that to be celebrated.”

Additionally, the game’s skill tree progression and crafting are teased for the first time.

Key Features:

  • Reveal the Mysteries of the Past: The classic story has been expanded with deeper connections that bridge Lara Croft’s defining adventure to her future.
  • Discover Extraordinary and Dangerous Worlds Lost to Time: Explore treacherous landscapes filled with ancient artifacts and hidden secrets, from the jungles of Peru to the crumbling ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious island shrouded in myth.
  • Skillfully Traverse Deadly Environments: Use Lara's strength, agility, and grappling hook to climb, leap, and swing across perilous terrain.
  • Solve Ingenious Ancient Contraptions: Manipulate hidden mechanisms and the environment to unseal secrets locked away for centuries. Every solution combines knowledge you've uncovered and clever thinking.
  • Face Lethal Predators: Armed with Lara's signature dual pistols and other unlockable weapons, use acrobatic abilities to unleash devastating attacks against savage wildlife, mercenaries, and mythological creatures.
