Alix Wilton Regan Wraps Recording On Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis

Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog's "stunning reimagining" of the original Tomb Raider is scheduled to launch on February 12, 2027, and Lara Croft herself has an exciting update on how the project is coming along.

"So I have just wrapped on the last official session of the main game of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which feels big and feels emotional," Alix Wilton Regan posted to Instagram. "I mean this journey started in 2022, and it's now the tenth of July 2026, so that's a big leap. There will be pickups, there will be bugs to fix, but wow, what a milestone."

We can only speculate on what that might mean for the game's progress, but Legacy of Atlantis is likely now playable from start to finish, with the team readying to squash bugs in post-production. As for Regan, it's hard to fault her enthusiasm—it's an incredibly exciting milestone. Legacy of Atlantis marks her first outing as Lara Croft, taking over from Camilla Luddington’s run in the Survivor trilogy as one of gaming's most iconic characters. And she isn't stopping with the remake.

Regan will also play Lara Croft in the upcoming Catalyst, a wholly new adventure set across Northern India in which "the ancient world collides with the present." Through the game, Crystal Dynamics is trying to piece together a 'unified timeline', which means that Legacy of Atlantis is both a remake and a sort-of sequel to the Survivor trilogy, whereas Catalyst—the latest entry in the series and the latest chronologically—is set years after the events of Underworld, putting it ahead of the Legacy trilogy.

Regan has spoken openly about her tenure as Croft already, and how she hopes to put her own stamp on the character. She's bringing back the "unapologetic" confident snark of the '90s, and has expressed that this Lara is for "the girls, the guys, [and] the gays." In an interview with TheGamer last year, Regan did say there was some initial "terror" over how she was going to bring Lara Croft to life and step into those monumental shoes, but that she combat those fears by diving "really heavily" into the wealth of lore and history on the character. "I asked for the encyclopedia of Tomb Raider and Lara to be sent to me," she said. "And boy, did they send me an encyclopedia."
