A new Tomb Raider title appears to have surfaced prematurely just ahead of its expected reveal at The Game Awards 2025. The franchise had already been teasing an announcement for the event, but newly shared material online suggests that the unveiling may have been spoiled early. The leak points to what is described as a remake or retelling of the original Tomb Raider, potentially titled Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.
The leaked material includes what is said to be cover art along with several screenshots taken from an unreleased video. While the footage itself has not been widely accessible, images capturing parts of it have been shared. According to the information tied to the leak, the project aims to retell the events of the first Tomb Raider while introducing a consolidated version of Lara Croft that aligns the character across past and future installments. It remains unclear whether this title represents the next main entry or whether additional projects are planned in tandem.
One detail further fueling credibility is that the leaked cover pose aligns closely with imagery from a recent teaser posted by The Game Awards. This match has prompted speculation that the images may be genuine, though the material remains unofficial and subject to change. Whether the leak captures the final form of the announced game will only be known once the presentation goes live.
The Tomb Raider franchise has maintained a long history of reinvention. From its classic 1996 debut on Sega Saturn, PC, and PlayStation to its later eras under the Legend trilogy and the Survivor reboot, the series has consistently reshaped Lara Croft while spanning major platforms and reaching more than 100 million sales. With Crystal Dynamics developing the next mainline entry under Amazon Games and utilizing Unreal Engine 5, expectations have continued to rise. The new direction has been described as a unified soft reboot featuring an older version of Lara Croft, bringing together aspects of the character from prior incarnations.
The timing of the leak heightens attention toward tonight’s event on December 11, 2025, where Geoff Keighley and official Tomb Raider channels have confirmed a major announcement. While rumors have circulated about a large-scale open-world set in India and a possible 2026 release window, none of those details have been formally acknowledged.
