Denuvo Appears Removed From Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on Steam
A September 30 SteamDB update and the disappearance of the DRM notice from the game's Steam page suggest Denuvo Anti-Tamper has been dropped, though it could return before launch.
Denuvo Anti-Tamper appears to have been removed from the Steam version of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, according to gamerant.com. The change is indicated by a September 30 SteamDB update and by the disappearance of the DRM notice from the game's Steam page.
Crystal Dynamics, Flying Wild Hog and Amazon have not publicly explained the change. The DRM could still return before the game's launch, so the removal is not confirmed as permanent.
Denuvo Anti-Tamper reportedly appeared on the Legacy of Atlantis Steam page earlier in June. Denuvo debuted in 2014 and has long drawn complaints from PC players about performance, online authentication and DRM restrictions.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis reimagines the 1996 original with larger environments, modernized combat and rebuilt puzzles. It is developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, with Amazon Game Studios publishing, and is slated to launch on February 12, 2027.
A future title, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, is slated for 2028 and is described as an original adventure set across Northern India.
