The Tomb Raider franchise has long been one of the most popular franchises in gaming. It even transcended the video game industry and ended up receiving two movie adaptations - with Angelina Jolie starring in both, no less - in the early 2000s. However, as popular as Lara Croft was, the Tomb Raider games weren't as good in the eyes of critics.
Then, in 2013, Crystal Dynamics decided to change this perception by rebooting the entire Tomb Raider franchise.
Their reboot explored the earlier life of Lara Croft. It put the players in the shoes of a normal human being thrust into unnatural circumstances. Risky as it was, Crystal Dynamics' decision to restart the franchise and switch to a more action-adventure type of title with hints of stealth, survival and a healthy dose of exploration proved to be a success.
2013's Tomb Raider later went on to become the best-selling title in the franchise. It ended up receiving two sequels and a video game movie adaptation to boot.
With that said, Crystal Dynamics isn't finished just yet.
After revealing that a new Tomb Raider game is currently in development, a way to revisit the first three rebooted titles in one single package is reportedly on its way.
