Fans of the Tomb Raider series on PlayStation may be in for a delightful surprise soon, as Tomb Raider: Anniversary could potentially be released for both PS4 and PS5. The game features the famous character Lara Croft and has experienced a revival with numerous remasters of classic titles. Recently, 2024 welcomed the remastering of the initial trilogy from Tomb Raider, while earlier this year, Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered was made available. Now, there is a prospect of yet another beloved title making a comeback.
True to its name, Tomb Raider: Anniversary was created to celebrate the franchise's tenth anniversary and serves as a remake of the original Tomb Raider game. It follows the adventures of Lara Croft as she embarks on an expedition to uncover the enigmatic Scion of Atlantis. Despite initial acclaim from audiences, the game did not achieve high sales, being regarded as the lowest-selling entry in the series. However, an emerging report indicates that Anniversary may soon be accessible on contemporary gaming platforms.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary Expected for PS4 and PS5
According to PushSquare, modifications in the PlayStation Network suggest a forthcoming release for Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The changes include a detailed trophy list, containing 26 different achievements, with a noteworthy Platinum Trophy awarded. The list features standard tasks for completing the game's storyline, as well as specific challenges, including becoming a statue and collecting numerous Medipacks. However, there has been no official announcement from Sony regarding the port or its release date.
The upcoming launch of Tomb Raider: Anniversary adds another classic title to the roster of games now available on PlayStation consoles. This release will mark the second entry from the Tomb Raider: Legend trilogy to be added to the PSN, with Tomb Raider: Underworld being the only one still unavailable. The port of Tomb Raider: Anniversary is anticipated to be offered through the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus, just like its predecessor's port.
The resurgence of another classic Tomb Raider title comes as uncertainty lingers over the franchise's future. The latest entries have largely been remasters or re-releases of older titles, with Shadow of the Tomb Raider being the last completely new game launched in 2018. However, Tomb Raider is also set to receive its own television series from Amazon, with Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner cast in the role of Lara Croft. While the future of the gaming series remains ambiguous, the re-release of Anniversary will undoubtedly attract fans back to this classic.
