Exciting News for Tomb Raider Fans
The original Tomb Raider launched in 1996 and quickly made Lara Croft one of gaming’s most recognizable and influential heroines. Over the decades, the franchise has expanded far beyond its debut. It has inspired multiple sequels, blockbuster films, animated series, and a lasting cultural legacy. In 2026, Crystal Dynamics is marking Tomb Raider’s 30th anniversary with a major global celebration that brings together prominent partners across gaming, fashion, collectibles, and lifestyle brands.
The anniversary celebrations begin with a diverse lineup of collaborations. Hardware specialist 8BitDo will join the festivities alongside Aspyr, whose recent releases include Tomb Raider I–VI Remastered and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Fine artist Blend Cota Studios will create original works inspired by Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. All while Dark Horse continues its legacy of storytelling through comics.
Additional partners include FiGGYZ pixel-art collectibles, Fulllife’s premium gaming apparel, and Funko’s iconic Pop! figures, GUNNAR Optiks’ performance eyewear, Iconiq Studios’ high-end collectibles, Loungefly’s fashion accessories, Shark Robot merchandise, futuristic footwear brand Syntilay, and the official Gear Store, which will roll out new products throughout the year. Fans can also expect unique items from Tubbz, Upper Deck trading cards, and more.
These collaborations set the stage for an exciting year ahead, highlighted by Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a reimagining of Lara Croft’s genre-defining adventure developed with Amazon Game Studios and Flying Wild Hog. The title is set to launch later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. With more announcements planned throughout 2026, the 30th anniversary celebration is only just beginning.
