Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Reveals Natla Character in Latest Behind-the-Scenes Video

Amazon Game Studios and Crystal Dynamics have released the seventh installment in a behind-the-scenes mini-documentary series for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, focusing on the character of Jacqueline Natla and the actor bringing her to life.

Meeting Natla

The latest episode features Adrienne Wilkinson taking on the role of Jacqueline Natla, with the documentary going behind-the-scenes alongside Crystal Dynamics, Flying Wild Hog, and Wilkinson herself as she works on the character. The mini-doc series has been rolling out in seven episodes documenting the making of the game.

What’s Coming

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis launches February 12, 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is a single-player, narrative-driven action-adventure that reimagines the iconic 1996 original Tomb Raider. Players step into Lara Croft’s boots as she embarks on a globe-trotting quest to discover the lost secrets of Atlantis.

The remake features jaw-dropping visuals and modernized gameplay alongside new surprises that honor the spirit of the original. The experience includes immersive environments, familiar puzzles redefined with new mechanics, and cinematic gameplay encounters on a grand scale. One of the original game’s most memorable moments—the epic T-Rex battle—is being transformed as part of this reimagining, with the developers emphasizing that new surprises await players while staying true to what fans remember about the 1996 debut.

Why It Matters

The original Tomb Raider was a landmark title that defined an entire generation of action-adventure gaming and made Lara Croft one of gaming’s most recognizable icons. Natla has been a central figure in the franchise since that debut, so casting and character work are crucial to whether a reimagining respects what made the original resonate with players.

The decision to develop this remake for Nintendo Switch 2 indicates confidence in the platform’s technical capabilities to handle a AAA action-adventure experience. Crystal Dynamics has been steering the modern Tomb Raider franchise through the successful rebooted trilogy of recent years, while Flying Wild Hog’s involvement suggests the studio is bringing additional development resources to the project. The behind-the-scenes documentary approach signals that the developers want players invested in how this reimagining came together.

Remakes of beloved classics carry inherent risk—fans have specific memories of what worked in the original. However, the emphasis on modernized gameplay and cinematic encounters suggests the team is aiming to preserve the DNA of 1996’s Tomb Raider while taking advantage of what current hardware and game design practices make possible.

What’s Next

With the February 2027 launch date set and character reveals continuing through the mini-doc series, expect more behind-the-scenes content and gameplay showcases leading up to release. The question now becomes whether this reimagining can capture what made the original special while delivering a fresh experience for both longtime fans and new players discovering Lara’s adventure for the first time.
