Amazon Games has confirmed what the schedule already implied: Tomb Raider: Catalyst will now launch in 2028 instead of the originally announced 2027 window. Jeffrey Gattis, the division's general manager, mentioned the shift during an appearance on The Game Business podcast, noting that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis arrives February 12, 2027, and the next entry follows in 2028. A spokesperson for the publisher quickly responded that there are "no updates" on timing while adding that development is "progressing well."

The announcement arrived as an unremarkable aside in a broader discussion about Amazon's gaming strategy and Luna streaming ambitions. Catalyst, developed by Crystal Dynamics, was revealed alongside the Legacy of Atlantis reimagining at The Game Awards 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Legacy of Atlantis itself had already slipped from a 2026 target to early 2027. Community discussion on X and gaming forums quickly framed the move as the second delay in quick succession for the revived Tomb Raider lineup.

Amazon's statement maintains the usual corporate posture of steady progress without committing to a revised release date. Gattis's offhand reference effectively reset expectations for the project that was positioned as the next major Lara Croft adventure set in Northern India. The publisher continues to emphasize that more details will arrive closer to launch.
