Developer Will Kerslake explained in an interview:
Part of properly reimagining the game is adapting it to modern player tastes.
However, the core essence of Tomb Raider will remain:
The game will feature puzzles, battles, exploration, and dangerous stunts.
Kerslake added:
You'll see big rolling balls and everything you'd expect in Tomb Raider, in full force.
Previously, the Anniversary edition of the original game had already partially eased difficult moments through QTE scenes, allowing players to overcome situations with instant death.
Legacy of Atlantis will be released in 2026 and will be a complete remake of the original, built from the ground up.
