Tomb Raider: Catalyst, the next game in the series, has been delayed until 2028. Amazon's head of gaming confirmed the postponement, which significantly extends the original release window. This marks the second setback for Amazon's plans with the franchise, following the delay of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. The game was introduced as an original story within the Lara Croft universe, and its narrative ambition may be one of the factors behind the delay. With two major titles rescheduled and a television production also moving slower than expected, Amazon's bet on turning Tomb Raider into a large-scale multimedia franchise is facing a test of patience for both the company and its audience.
