Game Informer’s next cover story is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the upcoming reimagining of the original 1996 Tomb Raider arriving on February 12. Since that game celebrates the franchise’s 30th anniversary this year, we’re doing the same with a double-whammy of Tomb Raider features.
We visited Crystal Dynamics’ office to play Legacy of Atlantis for several hours, including an exclusive tour of the Greece section. For our 12-page cover story, we spoke to key team members at Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog to learn why it’s tackling Lara Croft’s seminal adventure once again (having already remade the game once in Tomb Raider: Anniversary), how this version of the game differs from previous incarnations and why, discuss the teams’ controversial use of AI development tools, and how Legacy of Atlantis plants seeds for the upcoming Tomb Raider: Catalyst.
The issue also includes a six-page retrospective of Tomb Raider’s 30-year history, with insights from Crystal Dynamics. This celebration is reflected in our cover art, designed by Tomb Raider franchise art director Brenoch Adams, which showcases every version of Lara Croft from the Core Design, Legend, Survivor, and current eras.
We also have plenty of previews for upcoming games including Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, Muramasa: Revenant Blades, Fate/Extra Record, Tiny Metal 2, Mr. Records, and Eternal Anima. We also have reviews for Gears of War: E-Day, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Silent Hill: Downfall, and many more.
