Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis trailer smashes millions of views as new developer thanks fans for “warm welcome”

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis was one of the best reveals at The Game Awards on December 11. The trailer continues to smash millions of views across several channels on YouTube, and the game is co-developed by Flying Wild Hog, a Polish studio new to the Tomb Raider franchise. In light of the trailer’s success, Flying Wild Hog’s creative director, Michal Kuk, has thanked Tomb Raider fans for the “warm welcome”.

Flying Wild Hog is co-developing Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis, which is a complete remake and reimagining of the first-ever Tomb Raider game released for the PS1 back in 1996. Founded in 2009 and based in Warsaw, Flying Wild Hog’s past games include the Shadow Warrior trilogy reboot and Evil West games.

They are co-developing Legacy of Atlantis with Crystal Dynamics, who have been making games for Lara Croft since Tomb Raider Legend back in 2006. This remake is also published by Amazon Games for the first time.

In a video posted to Flying Wild Hog’s official X account, Michal Kuk says, “We are super excited about the recent announcement at The Game Awards where you could see the game we’ve been working on behind closed doors”. Kuk adds, “Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis is official, and I just wanted to say working on such an iconic IP is a dream come true for us”.

Kuk ends the video by saying, “We can’t wait for you to experience what we’ve been crafting with so much dedication and hard work,” but “until then, we’re heading back to work because this adventure is just getting started”.

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis trailer smashes millions of views

The Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis trailer continues to smash millions of views on YouTube. On the PlayStation YouTube channel, it has over 1.4 million views, which is significantly higher than Tomb Raider Catalyst, sitting at 838K views. On the IGN YouTube channel, it has crossed 1.5 million views, too.

On a new YouTube channel called Play Tomb Raider, created on October 24, 2025, it has actually surpassed a whopping 5 million views, with Catalyst at 18K.

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis is a complete remake and reimagining of Lara Croft’s 1996 debut, and it stars Alix Wilton Regan as the new voice actor for Lara Croft. Roles you may recognize her from in the past include Samantha Traynor in Mass Effect 3, the female Inquisitor in Dragon Age Inquisition, and Alt Cunningham in Cyberpunk 2077.

Unfortunately, there’s no specific release date for Legacy of Atlantis yet, but it is planned to come out in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It is the first Tomb Raider game to use Unreal Engine 5, which is a big departure from the in-house Foundation Graphics engine used by Crystal Dynamics for Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Aside from Legacy of Atlantis, there is also Tomb Raider Catalyst planned to be released in 2027. Crystal Dynamics is the developer for Catalyst, and Flying Wild Hog is not involved at all. Catalyst is also the next chronological story in the long and confusing timeline of Lara Croft, taking place after the events of Underworld, which was released back in 2008.

Story Kitchen, a producer on the upcoming live-action Amazon Prime series starring Sophie Turner as Lady Croft, also confirms that Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst share the same universe as the Amazon Prime series.
