A Survivor is Born: The AAA Reboot Hits Mobile in 2026
Feral Interactive, the gold standard for premium mobile ports, has officially announced that the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider is venturing onto iOS and Android on February 12, 2026.
Following their critically acclaimed work on Alien: Isolation, the Hitman series, and Total War, Feral is now tackling the gritty, cinematic origin story that redefined Lara Croft for a modern generation. Set on the mysterious island of Yamatai, this title marks the first chapter of the “Survivor Trilogy” to receive a fully-fledged mobile conversion.
The Complete Experience: DLC and Technical Features
Unlike many mobile releases that strip back content, Feral is delivering a “Complete and Uncut” experience. For a one-time premium price of $19.99, players receive the full base game along with all 12 DLC packs, including:
-
Bonus Content: Extra outfits, skill upgrades, and the “Tomb of the Lost Adventurer” challenge tomb.
-
Customizable Controls: A fully tailored touchscreen interface designed specifically for mobile combat and platforming.
-
Peripheral Support: Full controller support and mouse/keyboard compatibility (specifically for iPadOS and supported Android devices).
-
Performance Presets: Much like their Alien: Isolation port, the game will include optimization presets, allowing players to choose between High Fidelity visuals or Higher Performance frame rates.
-
Gyroscopic Aiming: Motion-controlled aiming will be available for supported devices to enhance the precision of Lara’s bow and firearms.
Gritty Survival on the Go
Tomb Raider (2013) was a seismic shift for the franchise, replacing the campy action of the early 2000s with a grounded, survival-horror aesthetic. Players guide a young, inexperienced Lara Croft after she is shipwrecked on a Japanese island inhabited by a dangerous cult.
The game’s focus on hunting, crafting, and visceral combat remains a high point for the series, and Feral’s port promises to maintain the AAA visual standards that made the original a masterpiece.
Pre-Order and Launch Details
