Amazon Games pushes Tomb Raider Catalyst release to 2028

Amazon Games has confirmed a significant delay for the upcoming video game Tomb Raider Catalyst, pushing its release to 2028. The announcement came from Amazon's head of gaming, Jeffrey Gattis, during an interview where he discussed the company's broader gaming strategy.

Gattis stated that the first of two planned Tomb Raider projects, Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, remains scheduled for release on February 12, 2027. He then added that the subsequent title, Tomb Raider Catalyst, would follow in 2028. This represents a shift from the original plan, as Catalyst was initially announced for a 2027 launch window following its reveal at The Game Awards in 2025. Gattis did not explicitly label the change a delay or provide specific reasons for the new timeline.

Tomb Raider Catalyst is described as a brand-new entry in the long-running franchise, taking protagonist Lara Croft on an archaeological adventure to Northern India. The story involves a mythical cataclysm unleashing ancient secrets and a race against rival treasure hunters. The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and is planned for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The delay is the latest in a series...
