Crystal Dynamics and Polish studio Flying Wild Hog are remaking the original 1996 Tomb Raider as 'Legacy of Atlantis', slated for February 2027. The project marks the 30th anniversary of Lara Croft and aims to preserve the feel of the original while modernizing gameplay for new audiences. The team describes it as a 'love letter' rather than a replacement, keeping iconic locations while expanding them with modern technology. Generative AI is used only for early prototyping, with all finished content remaining human-created. The remake is part of a broader industry trend, with the developers citing Final Fantasy and Resident Evil remakes as inspirations for balancing fan expectations with modernization.
