Introduction
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is an action-adventure game that is going to be developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog and published by Amazon Games. It is going to be a remake of the original Tomb Raider (1996)adventure with stunning visuals, new storytelling, and a redesign of the whole game. Not only that, but the game is built on Unreal Engine 5, changing everything.
Game Overview
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Developer | Crystal Dynamics & Flying Wild Hog |
| Publisher | Amazon Games |
| Genre | Action-Adventure |
| Engine | Unreal Engine 5 |
Story & Setting
Like Uncharted and Resonance, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis also features a blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, amazing storytelling, and combat. The game is about a young Lara Croft, who is looking for the Scion, an item from the lost civilization of Atlantis. To stop its power from being abused, she searches for the artifact in several places, including Peru, Greece, Egypt, and maybe more.
Gameplay
Lara is capable of climbing, using grappling hooks, swimming, and more. Throughout the game, you are going to face unique puzzles. Lara is also going to face enemies with her dual pistols.
The new game is going to introduce an archaeological scanner that allows players to analyze artifacts and get information or clues in temples and mysterious places. What I mean by “mysterious places” is that I could have said giant temples, tombs, and lost ruins because, in the trailer, you even get into a place where you encounter dinosaurs.
The game is also going to introduce new abilities that can be used to slow down combat.
Graphics & Unreal Engine 5
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is going to be filled with realistic, cinematic locations, from modern places to ancient temples and desert stations. You’re going to find fluid movement, fluid facial animations, and highly detailed environments.
Why Fans Are Excited
The series has been around for several years, and I’m sure that even adults are going to be interested in this game to relive the experiences they had when they were kids. If we talk about new players, they’re going to be attracted by a new game that is able to compete with Uncharted or Resonance.
