Crystal Dynamics brought back the Tomb Raider franchise in a big way, and while many may prefer the classic style, the newer adventures are strong, too. Fortunately, fans may be getting a reason to return to these recent Tomb Raider games very soon, as a special trilogy seems to be on the way.
This trilogy’s debut would come at a good time, as Crystal Dynamics recently revealed that a new Tomb Raider game is in development. Set to unify the styles of the new and old Tomb Raider titles, players can expect Lara Croft to act and dress more like her old self. Hopefully, she will also be seen wielding the dual pistols teased at the end of the 2013 game, as it has been quite some time since Lara used her most iconic items in a significant way.
While fans will need to wait quite some time for details on this new game, they could be getting some exciting Tomb Raider content to hold them over later this month. According to an accidental post on the Microsoft Store, Tomb Raider fans will be able to access Crystal Dynamics’ latest trilogy in one huge bundle. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20th Anniversary Celebration, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will all be included in one package, with the bundle set to arrive on March 18.
A great way to celebrate Tomb Raider’s 25th Anniversary, this collection shines due to the huge amount of value put in one package. Rise of the Tomb Raider’s DLC is particularly memorable, with Blood Ties focusing purely on building up the history of Croft Manor and Lara’s relationship with her family. Lara’s Nightmare, on the other hand, boasts a surprisingly fleshed out Zombies mode. The other two games boast strong DLC as well, including special missions and alternate outfits for Tomb Raider’s heroine.
There are a few big caveats to this package that fans should be aware of, however. First, the Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy does not have a price attached at the moment. Further, there are no next-gen enhancements to speak of for the games, as the trilogy simply collects the complete editions of the PS4 and Xbox One versions. As such, a $60 price tag can be expected, though as of now this is purely speculation. Unfortunately, Tomb Raider fans interested in seeing what Lara looks like on next-gen will have to wait a bit longer.
Lastly, there is no mention of the first Tomb Raider reboot’s multiplayer, and it remains to be seen if it will be included. Much like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition’s multiplayer, though, it would not be surprising if this collection of games left it on the cutting room floor.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy is supposedly releasing on March 18 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
