Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is set to release on February 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Its developer discussed how it has always wanted to bring Lara Croft’s first three globe-trotting adventures back in a PlayStation Blog post published on Tuesday.

“We’ve always wanted to revisit these titles, but we always debated the right approach. For years, we worked through the right balance of preservation and modernization. And once we felt we nailed it, we got in touch with our friends at Crystal Dynamics.” said Chris Bashaar, director of product at Aspyr.
Some of the features to expect in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered :
- Baked and real-time lighting effects
- Graphics toggle
- New models, environments, and enemies
- New model for Lara Croft
Aspyr is also introducing a health bar for bosses in a move designed to make tougher encounters less frustrating, in-game items like health kits and ammo have an improved 3D look and there are a multitude of Trophies to collect across the versions of the games.
Our philosophy here was rather straightforward; we want the games to look the way they did in your mind. We knew we were on the right track in our early playtests because some play testers didn’t even know they were playing with the modern art toggled on, Chris Bashaar, director of product at Aspyr.
There is a feature-rich photo mode to allow you to stop gameplay, get Lara in the right spot, switch between vintage and current visuals, highlight these surroundings, and get those epic moments.
