So, this is a bummer. Tomb Raider: Catalyst, the ambitious new entry in the series that Crystal Dynamics has been building alongside its Legacy of Atlantis remake, just quietly got pushed back a year. And it did not happen through a press release or a slick trailer. It happened almost as a throwaway line during a podcast interview.
I recently started listening to The Game Business Podcast, and it has quickly become something of a guilty pleasure. It is a grounded show packed with useful industry information, and I usually come away having learned something new. However, this week’s episode included guest Jeffery Gattis, General Manager of Gaming at Amazon, who likely accidently released the unfortunate news regarding the upcoming Tomb Raider: Catalyst.
During the segment at the 17:00 mark, Gattis discusses several titles Amazon will be publishing. During the conversation, he mentions that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will be released on February 12, 2027, while Tomb Raider: Catalyst is now targeting a 2028 release. Gattis does not go into much detail about the new release window, it was just a quick roll of the tongue moment.
