Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog are reportedly planning remakes of Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider 3. These new versions are expected to launch after Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which is set for release on February 12, 2027.
The reported plans indicate a continued focus on revitalizing classic Lara Croft adventures for modern platforms. This strategy could introduce the early titles to new players while offering updated experiences for long-time fans of the franchise.
According to a report from PSI France, Flying Wild Hog has already commenced planning for the Tomb Raider 2 remake. The report suggests that development for Tomb Raider 3 would follow. This information surfaced ahead of the anticipated launch of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which features Lara Croft’s latest adventure. The official Tomb Raider website provides details on the franchise’s history.
Crystal Dynamics, known for developing the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, oversees the broader direction of the franchise. The studio’s official site highlights its portfolio. Flying Wild Hog, a game development studio, has previously worked on titles such as the Shadow Warrior series. Flying Wild Hog’s website offers more information on their projects.
The original Tomb Raider 2, released in 1997, significantly expanded upon the first game’s mechanics, introducing new vehicles and more expansive environments. Tomb Raider 3, launched in 1998, further refined the gameplay with non-linear level progression and additional combat maneuvers for Lara Croft. Both titles are considered pivotal entries in the action-adventure genre and established many conventions for subsequent games.
This move aligns with a broader industry trend of remastering and remaking classic video games. Developers often revisit beloved titles to update graphics, improve controls, and introduce them to a new generation of players. However, specific details regarding the scope or platforms for these reported remakes have not been officially announced. The development timelines remain subject to change as Legacy of Atlantis approaches its release.
