TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Tomb Raider: Catalyst is now scheduled for 2028 after a delay from the original 2027 window. Amazon executive Jeffrey Gattis disclosed this during a discussion on game investments. The related title Legacy of Atlantis remains set for February 2027. Recent layoffs at developer Crystal Dynamics could influence the project timeline.

Tomb Raider: Catalyst has been delayed from its previously targeted 2027 launch window to 2028.

Amazon Gaming chief Jeffrey Gattis disclosed the new timeline. Gattis made the statement during an interview with The Game Business while discussing Amazon's game investment strategy. He said the company is committed to projects ranging from single-A games developed for single millions of dollars up to triple-A titles.
The source notes that constant layoffs can impact ongoing projects both through lost functions and the psychological toll on remaining staff.

Gattis specifically noted that Amazon has announced the two Tomb Raider titles, with Atlantis coming on February 12th of next year and the next one following in 2028.

The original target for Catalyst was 2027. The game had not locked in a hard release date but was set for launch in 2027 when announced at The Game Awards in 2025. Legacy of Atlantis remains on track for February 12, 2027.
