Publisher Amazon Game Studios has removed Denuvo anti-tamper technology from the Steam store page for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. DSOGaming, TombRaiderChronicles, Prima Games, and GameRant all report that the anti-piracy software notice was dropped from the listing, with SteamDB records confirming the change, according to TombRaiderChronicles. [1][3][4][5]

The change comes nearly five months before the game is scheduled to launch, Prima Games reported. DSOGaming noted that the update could mean Amazon Game Studios decided to drop the software permanently, or that the removal on the digital store page was an error. [1][4]

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a remake and reimagining of the original 1996 action-adventure game, DSOGaming reported. Development on the franchise has been led by Crystal Dynamics since 2006, following the initial series run by Core Design. [1][6]
