Amazon changed plans for Tomb Raider: Catalyst. Is the release of the Lara Croft game delayed?

Amazon updated the release timing information for Tomb Raider: Catalyst, stating that the release date has not yet been announced, and also briefly added Nintendo Switch 2 to the list of platforms.

It seems that Lara Croft fans will have to wait longer than expected for her new adventures. Lately, confusion has arisen around the release window of Tomb Raider: Catalyst. In late July, the head of Amazon Games hinted that the release had been pushed from 2027 to 2028.

There has been no further clarity since then. The game will be a new installment in the series, set several years after Tomb Raider: Underworld. Amazon has now edited an article containing key information about two upcoming projects in the Tomb Raider universe. The material was published on December 11, 2025. Specifically, instead of an estimated release window for Tomb Raider: Catalyst, it now reads: “Release date to be announced.”

There is another curious detail as well. Initially, it was reported that the game would be released on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. However, on November 11, the Tomb Raider Chronicles website spotted a mention of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the Amazon article. The very next day, this information was removed, as confirmed by the outlet's journalists. Most likely, it was a mistake, although the publisher has not commented on the situation. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that plans to release the game on Switch 2 were accidentally revealed this way.
