Lara Croft Voice Actor Reveals Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Dev Update

| Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (reimagining) | February 12, 2027 |
In an Instagram post, Alix Wilton Regan said she has “wrapped on the last official session” for the main game of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, calling the moment both “big” and “emotional.” She framed the timeline as a long run from the project’s start in 2022 to July 10, 2026, describing it as “a big leap.” Regan also acknowledged that the team still has work ahead—“there will be pickups” and “bugs to fix”—while emphasizing that the current stage is a “milestone.”
Meet the new Lara Croft
It’s still impossible to know exactly what Regan’s update means for final readiness, but the wording strongly suggests the main production phase is largely completed, with post-production now taking center stage for bug fixes and finishing touches. Regan’s excitement is easy to understand: Legacy of Atlantis is her first turn as Lara Croft, stepping in for Camilla Luddington’s portrayal from the Survivor trilogy.
And this isn’t the only Croft project on Regan’s plate. She will also voice and perform Lara Croft in Catalyst, a brand-new adventure set across Northern India. The pitch for the game is that “the ancient world collides with the present,” pairing regional history and mythic themes with modern-day energy.
Crystal Dynamics is also working toward a “unified timeline,” which is why Legacy of Atlantis is positioned as both a remake and a “sort-of sequel” to the Survivor trilogy. By contrast, Catalyst is described as the newest entry in the series and placed later in the chronology—set years after the events of Underworld and therefore ahead of the Legacy trilogy.

Regan has already been candid about taking over as Croft and about what she wants to bring to the character. She said she’s aiming to restore the “unapologetic” confident snark associated with the ’90s iteration of Lara. She also described this version as being for “the girls, the guys, [and] the gays.”
In a conversation last year, Regan mentioned there was some early “terror” about how she would embody Lara Croft and step into “monumental” shoes. She said she pushed through those worries by leaning “really heavily” into the series’ lore and history—going as far as requesting “the encyclopedia of Tomb Raider and Lara” be sent to her. “And boy, did they send me an encyclopedia,” she added.
