Overview
- The latest developer video, released Tuesday, laid out the Focus meter that fills when Lara deals damage, takes damage, or dodges and lets players slow time to perform acrobatic moves.
- Designers described an RPG-style skill tree where Lara gains skill points by collecting in-game artifacts rather than by earning experience from tasks.
- The game adds a crafting system that lets players gather herbs to brew healing items and temporary buffs for combat.
- Lara will have four weapons—dual pistols, a shotgun, an SMG, and an assault rifle—and the team confirmed players can complete the game using only the dual pistols if they choose.
- Legacy of Atlantis is being developed by Flying Wild Hog with Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios, will launch on February 12, 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC, and the new systems have provoked vocal fan backlash that the developers are addressing through explanatory videos.
