Fans can expect significant upgrades similar to those applied to the earlier trilogy.
What to expect from Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered
The remastered collection will feature enhanced graphics, giving players the option to switch between the new visuals and the classic look.

For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this collection brings three more of Lara’s iconic adventures into the modern era.
Three classic adventures at an affordable price
In Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (IV), Lara Croft uncovers the tomb of the Egyptian god Seth while being pursued by the unscrupulous archaeologist Werner Von Croy. In Tomb Raider: Chronicles (V), the story picks up after Lara’s presumed death in the Egyptian tombs, with her closest friends recounting her past adventures. Finally, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (VI) follows a darker story, where Lara is wrongfully accused of murder and uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving alchemical experiments.
