Fortunately, the first gameplay footage of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis didn’t take long to surface, and content creators, specialized media outlets (IGN, VGC), and official sources (Play Tomb Raider) all shared new content.

In the new videos, you can see the Lost Valley area, its puzzles, and new gameplay mechanics.

Demo in the Lost Valley

The demo takes place in Peru’s Lost Valley, where Lara must solve a new version of the iconic gear puzzle. The area features no combat and focuses on free exploration: side paths, collectibles, and environmental clues that guide the player without intrusive markers. The goal is to find two gears to activate a mechanism that stops a waterfall and opens up access to the jungle.

The developers explain that they want players to think like archaeologists, without giving them too many hints, although the game allows you to adjust the level of assistance and the difficulty of puzzles and combat separately.

Exploration

The setting features alternative paths, hidden underwater caves, and ancient structures that can be climbed. Many objects drop rare materials, suggesting a robust crafting system in the final version.

Platforms

Lara maintains her acrobatic style: long jumps, wall-grabs, swinging between bars, and using the grappling hook to cross great distances. The controls have a “retro” feel, with a slight sense of weightlessness reminiscent of the classic Tomb Raider games.

Combat

After solving the puzzle, the jungle clears and velociraptors appear. Lara uses her iconic dual pistols, firing either in burst mode or single shots. Combat requires constant movement: rolling, dodging, and chaining together acrobatic jumps. Each attack generates Focus, a resource that allows you to activate a special maneuver where time slows down and Lara fires while performing an acrobatic spin.

The demo culminates in a spectacular chase involving a massive T-Rex. Lara must react quickly, sliding down muddy slopes and climbing to avoid becoming its prey. The sequence ends on a tense cliffhanger.
