On the heels of a big launch for its new James Bond video game, “007 First Light,” and talks of another 007 film, Amazon is going all in on another classic British character with the upcoming debut of its “Tomb Raider” video game franchise and a live-action TV show.

First up will be “Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis,” which is a remake of the original 1996 “Tomb Raider” game. Following that game’s release in February 2027, the splashy new title, “Tomb Raider: Catalyst,” will launch later that year. And while Amazon Games and developer Crystal Dynamics recently demo’d “Atlantis” for press at Summer Game Fest, little is still known about “Catalyst” beyond an initial plot description.
