The project, until now shrouded in speculation, clearly points to being Lara’s big return to the spotlight. The leak coincides directly with the silhouette shown in the official teaser for the gala, so everything points to an imminent announcement during Geoff Keighley’s event.

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis: what the leak reveals

According to the shared information, Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis would be a reinvention of the first Tomb Raider, reinterpreting the story from a current perspective and with a completely redesigned Lara. The leaked images (low resolution and unofficial) show an aesthetic that fits with that approach, although there is no public confirmation of any details.

In recent weeks, rumors have also circulated that placed the new game in India, so the leak raises an interesting question: are we facing the same project with a definitive name, or does Crystal Dynamics have more than one game in the works? The answer should arrive tonight, when the saga returns to the stage of The Game Awards.
