Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Pre-order Guide — Editions, Bonuses, and Everything You Need to Know
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is coming February 12, 2027. Our complete pre-order guide covers all editions, bonuses, platforms, and what to expect from this Unreal Engine 5 remake of the 1996 classic.
What Is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis?
<p>Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a complete Unreal Engine 5 reimagining of the original 1996 Tomb Raider, co-developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog. It is not a simple remaster — the game has been rebuilt from the ground up, expanding every environment from the original game while preserving the core level structure, puzzles, and story that made the original a landmark title. The game covers Lara Croft's first adventure as she is hired by an enigmatic collector to retrieve the Scion, an artifact of immense power hidden across the world. The journey takes her from the jungles of Peru (including the iconic Lost Valley) to the ancient ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and finally to a mysterious Mediterranean island where the truth about Atlantis awaits. The game introduces modernized gameplay with semi-connected environments (instead of the original's self-contained rooms), rebuilt puzzles that take advantage of the expanded spaces, a reimagined combat system, and full voice acting with a new script. Pre-orders opened on June 2, 2026 following the State of Play reveal, and the game launches on February 12, 2027 (February 13 in Japan, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand) on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), and Nintendo Switch 2.</p>
Edition Comparison: Standard, Deluxe, and Collector's
<p>Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis offers three pre-order editions with different content and price points. Standard Edition ($69.99) includes the base game and pre-order bonus of 48-hour early launch access (play starting February 10) and the Parisian Fugitive outfit — a classic outfit from Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, recreated in Unreal Engine 5. Deluxe Edition ($89.99) includes everything in Standard plus the post-launch DLC Story Pack (a bonus story chapter set between the main game's Greece and Egypt acts, featuring a new tomb, new puzzles, and a unique artifact to discover), a digital art book with concept art and developer commentary (120+ pages), and the original Tomb Raider soundtrack in high-quality audio. Collector's Edition ($249.99) includes everything in Deluxe plus a 12-inch Lara Croft statue from PureArts in a dynamic pose inspired by the original game's box art, a steelbook case featuring the game's key art, a replica Scion artifact (with LED illumination), a cloth map of Lara's journey across all four regions, and a 64-page hardcover art book (expanded from the digital version). The Collector's Edition is available exclusively through the Square Enix online store and select retailers — stock is limited and pre-orders are already selling quickly.</p>
Pre-order Bonuses and Platform Exclusives
<p>All pre-orders include 48-hour early launch access, letting you start playing on February 10 instead of February 12. PlayStation 5 pre-orders additionally include the "Vintage Lara" outfit pack (three outfits from the original 1996 game, recreated in UE5 with authentic low-poly details visible in photo mode), and a dynamic PS5 theme featuring the game's key art with ambient jungle sounds. Xbox Series X|S pre-orders include 500 Xbox Game Points and a custom console dynamic background. PC pre-orders on Steam include a digital wallpaper pack (4K, multiple resolutions), the official soundtrack in MP3 format, and Steam Trading Cards featuring key art from each of the game's four regions. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will be available at a later date, with bonuses to be announced. Regardless of platform, all pre-orders also include the "Classic Health Bar" display option — a retro UI toggle that replaces the modern health bar with the original game's diamond-shaped health indicator, available from day one. Note that the post-launch DLC Story Pack (included in Deluxe and Collector's Editions) will also be available for individual purchase after launch, priced at $14.99. Pre-ordering is recommended if you want the 48-hour early access or limited Collector's Edition, but the Standard Edition will remain available after launch.</p>
What the Gameplay Demo Reveals About the Final Product
<p>The State of Play trailer and subsequent hands-on previews have revealed significant details about the final game. The Peru section, particularly the Lost Valley, has been dramatically reimagined — the original's self-contained puzzle rooms have been opened into semi-connected environments that players can traverse, explore, and approach from multiple angles. The iconic cog puzzle returns but has been redesigned to fit the larger space, with additional cogs hidden in optional side areas that reward exploration. The T-Rex encounter, a defining moment from the original, has been expanded into a multi-phase chase sequence through the valley, ending with a QTE-free confrontation where players must use the environment to defeat the dinosaur. Combat has been modernized with a cover system, manual aiming (with optional lock-on for purists), and a stamina bar that governs sprinting, climbing, and evasive rolls. Lara can now swim freely in underwater sections (a significant upgrade from the original's limited water mechanics). The Greece section features the return of the Greece level from the original, now with multiple connected outdoor areas, optional tombs to discover, and a reimagined version of the iconic "Palace of the Gods" puzzle complex. Egypt introduces expanded desert environments with vehicle sections (including a motorcycle) that connect the tomb complexes. The final Atlantis section remains largely under wraps but promises the original's most surreal environments rendered in stunning UE5 detail.</p>
