About this story
Crystal Dynamics has confirmed how long it will take to play through Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Experience Director Jeff Adams told MP1st the reimagined classic takes 14 to 16 hours to complete, depending on playstyle, and urged players not to rush through it.
Adams said the world is built to encourage exploration rather than a straight sprint to the finish. The news arrived alongside a new gameplay sneak peek shown on October 25, 2026, giving fans their latest look at Lara Croft’s return.
Legacy of Atlantis is a complete reimagining of the original 1996 Tomb Raider, developed by Crystal Dynamics with Flying Wild Hog and published by Amazon Games. It is built in Unreal Engine 5, and it brings back Lara’s hunt for the scattered pieces of the Scion across Peru, Greece, Egypt and a Mediterranean island, facing traps, gunfights and dinosaurs along the way.
The remake adds new tools to Lara’s kit, including a climbing pickaxe carried over from the Survivor trilogy and a grapple cuff for navigating environments and scaling ledges. Both fit a game that wants players poking into every tomb rather than beelining the story.
