Tomb Raider Catalyst Delayed to 2028

Amazon has delayed the release of Tomb Raider: Catalyst to 2028, according to reports from IGN Česko a Slovensko and Konzolista.cz. The title will no longer be available in 2027 as previously anticipated, moving the launch of the new Lara Croft adventure back by at least one year.
