Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will be heading to Switch 2 next year

While yesterday’s trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis during Sony’s “State of Play” presentation didn’t mention it (for obvious reasons), Amazon Game Studios has confirmed that Lara Croft’s next adventure/remake will be heading to Nintendo Switch 2 next year. Launching on February 12th, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo’s latest console, the game is a from the ground up remake of the first game that launched 30 years ago on Sega Saturn, PS1, and PC.

Amazon has stated that players on Switch 2 can expect “the same cinematic scale and fluid gameplay, fully optimized.” I’m not sure what that means, but I wouldn’t expect Legacy of Atlantis to run at 60 fps on the device. We recently saw a port of 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot and it struggled to run decently. At the same time, this latest game is built on Unreal Engine 5, which recently received some pretty big overhauls for how it performs on Nintendo’s console.
