Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is set to make waves early next year on the PlayStation 5.
**Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis - Release Date Trailer | PS5 Games**
Lara Croft is returning to her roots, but this isn't merely a remaster. Unveiled during PlayStation’s State of Play event, *Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on February 12, 2027, offering a complete reimagining of the original adventure from 1996.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics in collaboration with Flying Wild Hog and utilizing Unreal Engine 5, the game seeks to recreate Lara's initial journey with a level of scale and detail that was unachievable three decades ago. Early gameplay footage suggests that it will offer much more than just a nostalgic experience.
**The Lost Valley is larger than you remember**
One of the most significant changes is found in the iconic Lost Valley of Peru, a highlight from the original game. Rather than guiding players through a series of disconnected puzzle rooms, *Legacy of Atlantis* transforms these areas into expansive interconnected spaces. Exploration seems to be a core element, with hidden paths, collectibles, resources, and optional discoveries available throughout the world.
**Even classic puzzles are being redesigned.** Crystal Dynamics indicates that familiar challenges, such as the well-known cog puzzle, have been restructured to feel more natural within the environment rather than existing as isolated hurdles. The clear intention is to maintain the essence of the original while creating a more believable world— a philosophy that has proven successful for modern remakes and seems especially appropriate for a series that thrives on exploration and discovery.
**A remake that isn't afraid to innovate**
The original *Tomb Raider* remains a seminal experience in gaming history, yet it reflects its era. Fixed camera angles, rigid movements, and technical limitations defined the 1996 experience. *Legacy of Atlantis* seems poised to move beyond those restrictions while retaining the recognizable landmarks. Every location, from the valleys of Peru to the decaying ruins of Greece, has been reimagined with contemporary visuals, enhanced combat systems, expanded exploration mechanics, and an enriched audio landscape.
For long-time fans, this means revisiting familiar settings through a new perspective. For those new to the franchise, it could serve as the ultimate introduction to Lara Croft’s inaugural adventure. Pre-orders are currently available on the PlayStation Store, with the Standard Edition priced at $59.99, which includes the Survivor Outfit as a pre-order bonus. The $69.99 Deluxe Edition features 48-hour early access, a Parisian Fugitive outfit, and a post-launch story expansion.
While there is still some time before Lara’s return next February, the initial footage suggests that Crystal Dynamics may have finally discovered a way to modernize a gaming classic without forfeiting its original charm.

**Marvel’s Wolverine displays suitably gory gameplay ahead of September 15 release**
Logan’s claws deliver the message in Marvel’s Wolverine’s intense new gameplay trailer.
Insomniac Games shared an extended gameplay trailer for its PS5 exclusive during Sony’s latest State of Play, showcasing that this Wolverine game is centered on blood, fury, and brutal close-quarters combat.

**Control Resonant launches in September with a new hero leading the sibling narrative**
The September PS5 sequel introduces Dylan as the playable character, pushing Remedy’s supernatural saga toward its more complicated family dynamics.
*Control Resonant* is scheduled for a global launch on PS5 on September 24, and Remedy aims to make a notable departure from the previous game beyond just introducing a new city. Dylan Faden takes center stage this time, previously seen as a threat, now entangled in a story focusing on power, harm, and the connection that still binds him to Jesse.
**God of War Laufey puts Kratos’ wife in action against deceased deities and it’s coming soon**
Santa Monica Studio’s forthcoming primary PS5 installment follows Faye through a realm of the afterlife where gods from various myths intersect.
Kratos won’t be leading the next core *God of War* title. Instead, Faye will be stepping into the action. *God of War Laufey* places Faye, also known as Laufey, at the forefront of a PS5 action game set in the Everywhen, an afterlife realm where celestial beings from diverse mythologies interact. Although Sony has yet to announce a release date, price, or regional launch details, it is coming soon.
