Crystal Dynamics Changed System Requirements of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the new game in the franchise from Crystal Dynamics, is one of the biggest games confirmed for the first quarter of next year. The developers claim it is both a remake of the 1996 game and a reimagining tied to the “Survivor Trilogy,” the games released from 2013 to 2018 that told the coming-of-age story of a young Lara Croft.

As part of release preparations, the studio has updated the game’s system requirements on its Steam page. Players now need stronger hardware to run it on minimum settings: an RTX 2070 instead of a GTX 1070/RTX 2060 Super, and an Intel i5-10400 instead of an Intel i5-8600. The recommended CPU is now the Intel i5-12400/Ryzen 5 7600X instead of the i7-9700K/Ryzen 5 5600X, and Windows 11 is the only supported operating system. The recommended settings target comfortable 60 FPS at Full HD, not 1440p.

Meanwhile, Embracer Group, the owner of Crystal Dynamics, recently released its financial report for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. It says the company’s revenue grew by 14%, and pre-orders for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis are reportedly exceeding expectations.

Earlier this month, reports also appeared that more Tomb Raider remakes might be in development after Legacy of Atlantis. It was revealed by Arek Tomaszewski, art director of the upcoming title. Crystal Dynamics is also developing Tomb Raider: Catalyst, a new full game in the franchise. According to rumors, it will be released in 2028.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will release on February 12, 2027, for PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
