A 2014 remastered port of Tomb Raider (2013) has lastly made its solution to PC by way of a quiet launch on the Microsoft Retailer.
Some background. In 2013, Crystal Dynamics developed a Tomb Raider reboot that includes a youthful Lara Croft surviving a harmful island journey. That recreation was initially launched on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Then, in 2014, a barely remastered and improved port of that reboot was launched on PS4 and Xbox One underneath the identify Tomb Raider: Definitive Version. Nevertheless, PC gamers by no means obtained this up to date remaster. However now, a decade later, Tomb Raider: Definitive Version is obtainable on PC with little fanfare.
On April 24, as noticed by Reddit, the Definitive Version of the rebooted Tomb Raider was shadowdropped on the Microsoft Retailer with seemingly zero warning or announcement. I didn’t get an electronic mail. Kotaku didn’t get an electronic mail. And checking the official Tomb Raider Twitter account, the newest tweet I can see is promoting a…duck model of Lara?
Maybe the explanation why no one has formally introduced this information is as a result of, based on individuals who have performed Tomb Raider: Definitive Version on PC, it’s type of a multitude. People have reported points beginning the sport in addition to lacking animations, wonky physics, efficiency points, and different issues.
Kotaku has contacted Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics in regards to the port.
For now, although, it appears that evidently the Definitive Version isn’t fairly prepared for showtime on PC. Hopefully, it may be patched up and launched on Steam so this model of Tomb Raider (2013) could be out there to extra folks.
However I additionally hope that the unique model of the sport at present on the market on Steam isn’t faraway from the storefront, as many gamers may desire that model and mods for it possible received’t work with the brand new port. For now, we will solely wait and see. I suppose you may also purchase that duck model of Lara Croft, too, in order for you. I wouldn’t.
