Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is making Lara's dual pistols feel iconic again
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will make sure Lara's pistols are as cool as ever
Atlantis is a classic 1982 action game originally released across Atari and Commodore platforms. However, the recent coverage focuses on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a modern reimagining of Lara Croft's 1996 debut adventure being developed by Amazon Games and Crystal Dynamics alongside Flying Wild Hog.
Developer diaries have detailed substantial changes to the formula. Movement and traversal have been rebuilt from the ground up, while puzzle design has been reimagined for contemporary gameplay. The reimagining introduces RPG elements including a skill tree and herb brewing system, alongside a new focus meter mechanic. The developers are also emphasizing Lara's iconic dual pistols as a core part of the experience. The game has been featured in Intel's 2026 Gamer Days promotion, though rollout across retailers has been uneven.
