New features include crafting-based healing tinctures, a skill tree, and weapon upgrades, while tank controls have been permanently dropped in favor of modern controls. The studios also discuss their relationship with publisher Amazon, which is also handling Tomb Raider: Catalyst and a TV adaptation, and confirm Legacy of Atlantis launches February 12 with continuity to the 'Survivor era' Lara Croft. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
