Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a fresh, reimagined take on Lara Croft’s first adventure. I recently played about an hour of Legacy of Atlantis at Summer Game Fest 2026, and saw first-hand how developers Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog are bringing elements from the original game and its first remake, 2007’s Tomb Raider Anniversary, into the modern era.

The preview took me to the Lost Valley area in Peru, where I was tasked with solving a new version of Tomb Raider’s iconic cog puzzle. Here, two cogs are needed to reconnect a mechanism that can stop the flow of a nearby waterfall, revealing the door that will let her deeper into the hidden jungle. The mechanism sits in a small pond, and while the first cog is easy to come by, you’ll have to discover the second on your own.

Wishlist God of War Laufey here!

God of War Laufey

Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her funeral, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus are now at risk.

To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods — the Everywhen — where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic....

Today’s State of Play packed in over 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and reveals. It opened with a closer look at Marvel’s Wolverine and concluded with the reveal of God of War Laufey. Between those two heavyweights, a barrage of release dates, fresh looks, and surprises. The rest of your 2026 is looking stacked (and action packed!) with Control Resonant, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Downfall amongst others all confirming launch dates for later this year. And 2027? Shaping up quite nicely as well.
