Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is in development from Crystal Dynamics and Aspyr Games. This collection of three more Tomb Raider games will release on February 14, 2025.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered will contain remasters of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. The Last Revelation and Chronicles were the final two games in the series released for PS1, while The Angel of Darkness was the first PS2 game and the final game developed by the original team at Core Design. The remaster will feature a visual overhaul for both PS1 games, although the original visuals will be available at the touch of a button. The Angel of Darkness appears to exclusively use upscaled versions of the original textures, as no split-screen comparison was shown off for that game in the announcement trailer.
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation was Lara Croft’s most expansive adventure at the time, taking her across Egypt and expanding out the level structure. Tomb Raider: Chronicles was an anthology game which saw Lara taking part in four smaller adventures in Rome, Russia, Ireland and New York. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is a moody mystery where Lara is accused of killing her mentor and is now investigating secrets within Paris and Prague. This game was also notorious for being unfinished on its original launch. It’s unclear if the game’s various bugs and control issues will be rectified for the remaster.
This latest remastered collection follows on from a previous collection, which contained the first three Tomb Raider games. The new collection will be launching exactly one year after the first, on February 14, 2025. This is a notable date for Tomb Raider fans, as it’s Lara Croft’s canonical birthday. The announcement of the new remaster comes shortly after the release of the Netflix Tomb Raider adaptation, starring Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered will release for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2025.
