/
Crystal Dynamics and Aspyr are partnering up to deliver a three-game bundle of the first three Tomb Raider titles next year. Titled Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft, this collection delivers the original three titles with upgraded graphics and performance enhancements, complete with all expansions and secret levels for each game in the bundle.
Here’s a rundown of what to expect from this remaster collection:
Tomb Raider I + the “Unfinished Business” Expansion
In the game that started it all, adventurer Lara Croft has been hired to recover the pieces of an ancient artifact known as the Scion. Run, jump, swim and climb in fearless acrobatic style to find out the truth of its origin and powers, leaving only a trail of empty tombs and ammo in your wake. The original Tomb Raider comes complete with the “Unfinished Business” expansion, which adds four new bonus levels in two extra chapters.
Tomb Raider II + the “Gold Mask” Expansion
The award-winning second installment in the Tomb Raider series invites you to join Lara as she travels around the globe to retrieve the legendary Dagger of Xian, said to grant the powers of a fire-breathing dragon to its holder. Tomb Raider II includes the “Gold Mask” expansion, which adds five new bonus levels in a separate mini-adventure.
Tomb Raider III + “The Lost Artifact” Expansion
In Tomb Raider III, Lara follows the clues to a deadly secret in this complex adventure combining challenging puzzles with high-speed action. Boldly leap chasms and blast monsters in pursuit of a mystery that defies any earthly explanation. “The Lost Artifact” includes six new levels that continue Lara’s adventures from the original Tomb Raider III.

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
