It will explore themes like trust, betrayal, and how Lara deals with her growing legacy.

Both games feature Alix Wilton Regan as the new voice of Lara Croft.

Is Tomb Raider Catalyst a Sequel in the Main Canon?

Yes, Tomb Raider: Catalyst is going to be a true mainline sequel in the main Tomb Raider story. It is not a spin-off or a side project. It is treated as the next big entry in the series, with a new story in a new location, while still respecting the older games.

These two launches give players two unique opportunities: an updated version of Lara's original story and the opportunity to experience a new chapter of her saga, with new locations and new lore elements being added to the experience.

Both Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst demonstrate how Tomb Raider has successfully blended the memories of the past with the creativity of the future as it prepares for its next decade.
