Tomb Raider: Catalyst Takes Lara Croft To Northern India In 2027

Lara Croft is one of the most iconic video game characters of all time, but it's been seven years since she starred in a mainline game. Today, we learned that hiatus is almost over – or rather, it will be two years from now. Tomb Raider: Catalyst was just revealed at The Game Awards, and it's coming out in 2027. You can check out the trailer below.

The footage shows Lara Croft doing what she does best: exploring ancient crypts and narrowly making dangerously long jumps. The trailer is narrated by a mysterious woman that seemingly knows a lot about Lara Croft's past. "I've heard a dozen tall tales that say you're unstoppable," the woman says to Lara. "But I say all legends must come to an end." The woman then watches as Lara singlehandedly defeats all the woman's allies and kicks her to the ground. Then, mysterious rocks rise out of the ruins, and in classic Tomb Raider fashion, Lara has to make a last minute escape by leaping off falling debris.

More information is available on the tomb raider website. "Tomb Raider: Catalyst is set in the wake of a mythical cataclysm that has unleashed ancient secrets and awakened the mysterious forces that guard them," a news post reads. "When the most notorious treasure hunters from around the world descend on the region, Lara races to uncover the truth buried beneath the fractured landscape and stop those who would use its power for their own gain. As the ancient world collides with the present, Lara must decide who to trust among rivals and allies to prevent a catastrophe and protect a secret that could reshape the future."

The teaser ends with the release window – 2027 – along with the game's targeted platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. For more Tomb Raider, check out the news of the remake of the original, called Legacy of Atlantis.
