Preorders are now live for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the next major entry in Crystal Dynamics’ long-running action-adventure franchise, following the PlayStation Blog’s confirmation that the game will launch on February 12, 2027 for PlayStation 5, with other platform releases to be confirmed. IGN and Restart.run have detailed exactly what comes in each edition, giving Lara Croft fans the information they need to decide how much they want to spend ahead of the February release.

The Legacy of Atlantis title signals a return to the mythology that defined some of the most beloved early Tomb Raider entries – the original trilogy of games from the late 1990s and early 2000s featured the lost city of Atlantis as a major narrative element, and the nostalgic appeal of returning to that setting with modern visual and gameplay technology has been a point of discussion in the community since the title was announced. Crystal Dynamics appears to be threading the needle between the gritty realism of the recent survival trilogy and the more adventurous, mythology-driven original games.

The Editions Available

The standard edition of Legacy of Atlantis includes the base game and a preorder bonus cosmetic item. Above the standard tier, Crystal Dynamics has structured additional editions that progressively add content:

• Standard Edition: Base game plus preorder bonus cosmetic for Lara’s iconic look inspired by the original trilogy.
• Deluxe Edition: Base game plus a story expansion pass, additional weapon and outfit cosmetics, and a digital art book and soundtrack.
• Collector’s Edition: Physical box containing a figurine of Lara in the Legacy of Atlantis design, all digital deluxe content, a steelbook case, and behind-the-scenes documentary content.

Why February 2027?

The February launch window is an increasingly popular slot for major game releases – Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are following a pattern of other publishers who have found that launching in the post-holiday window, after the Q4 rush, gives games more visibility and sales space than they might receive when competing with the crowded November release calendar. The specific February 12 date gives the game a clear window before the traditionally heavy spring release season that follows.

What We Know About Gameplay

Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that Legacy of Atlantis retains the core mechanical framework of the survival trilogy – climbing, combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration – while expanding the supernatural and mythological elements of both the environment and the enemies Lara faces. The Atlantis setting allows for underwater traversal sections, ancient mechanical puzzles of a scale not possible in real-world jungle and mountain settings, and enemy types drawn from Atlantean mythology rather than purely human opposition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis a direct sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

Crystal Dynamics has described it as a new chapter in Lara’s story that builds on the survival trilogy’s continuity while being designed to be accessible to players new to the character. The mythology connection is thematic rather than a direct story continuation from the end of Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
