The original Tomb Raider trilogy games are getting fully remastered for the Nintendo Switch, marking a return to the 1996 debut of the iconic character Lara Croft. The three games will be sold as a single Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection.
From the September 14 Nintendo Direct, “As the fearless archeologist, Lara Croft, you’ll travel the world and face off against deadly foes and even deadlier legends. Climb, backflip, and swan dive through perilous quests spanning different countries and mythologies.”
The trilogy includes all of the expansions and secret levels for each game, allowing players to seamlessly switch between the original and the new, remastered graphics. Check out the following images below for a graphical comparison.
