Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Pre-Orders Live on Nintendo Switch 2

Pre-orders are now open for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing Crystal Dynamics’ reimagining of the original Tomb Raider to Nintendo’s console alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The game launches on February 12, 2027, with the standard edition priced at $60.

What Legacy of Atlantis is

Legacy of Atlantis is a ground-up reimagining of the first Tomb Raider, the 1996 game that introduced Lara Croft. It rebuilds the original’s iconic environments and its Atlantis storyline in Unreal Engine 5, with the stated aim of honouring the spirit of the classic rather than recreating it block by block. Crystal Dynamics is developing the game with Polish studio Flying Wild Hog, and Amazon Game Studios is publishing it as part of its partnership with the series.

Editions, prices and pre-order bonus

Three editions are available. The Standard Edition costs $60, the Deluxe Edition costs $70, and a Collector’s Edition priced at $200 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. The Deluxe and Collector’s editions include 48 hours of early access, starting on February 10, 2027. Every pre-order includes Lara’s Survivor Outfit as a bonus, and some retailers are adding their own extras, such as a poster with Amazon’s standard edition.

How the Switch 2 version works

The physical Switch 2 version is a Game-Key Card. That means the cartridge acts as a licence rather than holding the full game: inserting it lets players download the eShop version, which requires an internet connection and enough free storage. Players who want to avoid the download step entirely should note this before choosing between physical and digital. Nintendo also listed the February 12 date in its September Direct release schedule.

Why Switch 2 matters for the series

Tomb Raider launching on Switch 2 on the same day as other platforms is a meaningful change. Earlier modern Tomb Raider games reached Nintendo hardware late or not at all, and a simultaneous release puts Nintendo players on equal footing. For Switch 2, it adds another major third-party action-adventure to a library that has been steadily growing beyond Nintendo’s own games.

The reimagining also gives the series a new starting point. After the Survivor trilogy that ended with Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 2018, returning to Lara’s first adventure is a way to reintroduce the character to players who never played the 1996 original.

Why it matters

For fans, the key details are the February 12, 2027 release, the $60 starting price and the choice between early access editions and the standard version. For Switch 2 owners, the Game-Key Card format is the main consideration, especially for anyone with limited storage or slow internet.

For players in the GCC, digital pre-orders through each platform’s store are the simplest way to lock in the early access editions, while physical availability and Collector’s Edition stock will depend on local retailers. As always, regional prices may differ from the US figures above.
