Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is 'Reimagining' The Series' Original Game With a Focus Meter, Skill Tree and Herb Brewing
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will include an RPG-like skill tree, herb brewing and a new chargable focus meter in its reimagining of the series' first game.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is set to reimagine the series original game with a focus on an RPG-like skill tree, herb brewing, and a chargeable focus meter. This update, being developed by Flying Wild Hog in collaboration with Crystal Dynamics, brings fresh visuals and more familiar gameplay to modern audiences. The focus meter is inspired by the more recent Tomb Raider reboot trilogy, allowing players to slow down time during combat and showcase Lara Croft's acrobatic abilities.
A skill tree enables players to redeem in-game artifacts for skill points, unlocking various weapon upgrades and ability improvements such as reduced damage and improved healing. Additionally, players can collect and brew herbs for various buffs. Design director Jason Epps expressed that the skill tree allows players to feel more engaged with Lara's power in the game.
The game is expected to launch on February 12, 2027, with a sequel, Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Catalyst, following in 2028.
