Tomb Raider remake bakes in RPG progression and a time-slow focus system
Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics revealed a trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a remake developed by Flying Wild Hog, showcasing major departures from the 1996 original: RPG-style skill trees, herb-based crafting for buffs, and a focus meter that fills through combat and allows Lara to slow time for acrobatic maneuvers. Progression shifts from traditional XP to artefact collection, sparking mixed reactions. The game is dated for February 12, 2027, and will release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
