Remastering old games is a bit like archaeology, isn't it? Well, Lara Croft fans are going to party like it's the 1990s. One of the most iconic video game franchises of all time is set to make a grand return with the official Tomb Raider I-III Remastered trilogy.
While Lara Croft has made recent appearances in Call of Duty, Magic: The Gathering, and Fortnite as the crossover plague keeps infecting IPs, fans have been clamoring for a new solo game. Although there is an Unreal Engine 5 project in development at Crystal Dynamics, with Amazon as the publishing partner, the release of Tomb Raider 12 is still far off.
In the meantime, fans can indulge in the early adventures of Lara Croft through arguably her three best-ever games with the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered trilogy. This release promises to bring back the glory days of Lara's epic adventures on PS1, now revamped for PS5, PC, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch.
Lara Croft's inaugural game, released in October 1996, holds a special place in gaming history as one of the most iconic PS1 titles, alongside classics like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Final Fantasy 7. That first Tomb Raider game often makes it into lists of the greatest PS1 games of all time.
