Crystal Dynamics, a game studio known for creating the Tomb Raider series (currently under the Embracer Group umbrella, after being purchased from Square Enix in 2022), has announced the remastered versions of the original Tomb Raider trilogy.
The first three Tomb Raider games were released between 1996 and 1998 on PC and PlayStation (the first game was also available on the Sega Saturn, but later, a console-exclusivity deal was signed with PlayStation). These games played a significant role in establishing the iconic character Lara Croft during that era.
The official name for the remastered versions is “Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft,” (no matter how long it sounds) and the remastering is being handled by Aspyr, a studio specializing in game ports, which is also part of the Embracer Group (acquired in 2021). The remastered games will offer both the original graphics and upgraded graphics options.
In addition to the original games, the remastered versions will include the expansions:
– Tomb Raider I + the “Unfinished Business” Expansion
– Tomb Raider II + the “Gold Mask” Expansion
– Tomb Raider III + “The Lost Artifact” Expansion
The remastered versions of the games will be available on various platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam/GOG). The release date is set for February 14, 2024, with a price of $29.99.
