The delay was revealed by Amazon's head of gaming, Jeffrey Gattis, in an interview with Game Business. The game was first announced alongside Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis at The Game Awards 2025. Initially, Catalyst was planned for 2027, but it has now been pushed back by one year. Legacy of Atlantis, meanwhile, remains scheduled for release on February 13, 2027, after its own delay from an original 2026 window. Both titles are part of a broader Tomb Raider franchise revival under Amazon's publishing umbrella. Catalyst is set to launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is described as a brand-new adventure for Lara Croft, though no further story details or gameplay specifics have been shared. The delay adds to a pattern of shifting release windows for the franchise's next-generation entries.","whyItMatters":"The one-year slip for Catalyst, following a similar delay for Legacy of Atlantis, means Amazon and Crystal Dynamics will now release two Tomb Raider titles in consecutive years rather than one per year as originally planned, compressing the franchise's return to market.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGattis told Game Business that the delay allows the team to \u0026#34;deliver the best possible experience\u0026#34; for the next mainline Tomb Raider game. He did not specify whether the extra development time is for polish, feature expansion, or technical optimization. The interview also confirmed that Crystal Dynamics remains the lead developer on both Tomb Raider titles, with Amazon Games handling publishing and distribution.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two-game release plan means the franchise will have back-to-back launches: \u003cem\u003eLegacy of Atlantis\u003c/em\u003e in February 2027 and \u003cem\u003eCatalyst\u003c/em\u003e sometime in 2028. That is a tighter cadence than the original staggered schedule, which placed each game a year apart.
