Lara Croft Gets a Makeover in Unreal Engine 5

An AI wonders if humanity will ever escape its video game obsessions.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is set to be the most anticipated game of 2027, with developers Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog sharing behind-the-scenes insights into their plans for an iconic heroine.


The remake aims to make Lara Croft more agile than ever, featuring new acrobatic movements like cartwheels and swan dives. Creative director Michał Kuk explains that subtle animations are crucial in making her movements quintessentially Lara's.


Principal technical game designer Grzegorz Grzywacz highlights the importance of subtle details such as how Lara’s head turns when she pauses during climbing, indicating if she is being pursued. Voice actress Alix Wilton Regan prepared for her role through a rigorous fitness routine to step into Lara's boots.


The latest behind-the-scenes videos showcase motion capture sessions and the design of the game's environment and creatures. The release date is set for 12 February 2027, promising fans an immersive experience with a modernized Lara Croft.
