Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Switch Release: Physical Version Update from Aspyr

Lara Croft is set for a triumphant return as Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered launches on the Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2025.

Developed and published by Aspyr, the remastered collection follows the success of the recent Tomb Raider I-III Remastered release, bringing enhanced visuals and classic adventure gameplay to a new generation of Nintendo players.

Priced at $29.99 / £26.99, the digital edition will be available for download via the Nintendo Switch eShop worldwide. Aspyr, known for its work on high-profile remasters and ports to modern platforms, has been celebrating the enduring legacy of the Tomb Raider franchise.

For collectors and longtime fans, the availability of a physical edition is a key concern.

When recently queried by Nintendo Everything about the prospect of a physical release for Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, Aspyr's Brand Manager, Matthew Ray, reaffirmed the company’s awareness of fan interest, stating through a representative: "Aspyr recognizes that physical collectables hold significant appeal for the classic and nostalgia-driven gaming community.

Details regarding a potential physical edition will be provided in the near future." While no specific timeframe or confirmation has been given, this response mirrors the strategy used for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, where a physical release followed the initial digital launch.

Collectors can remain optimistic about the possibility of an eventual boxed edition, possibly accompanied by additional physical content or bonuses—a practice Aspyr has embraced with past remasters. The Tomb Raider series, led by the iconic protagonist Lara Croft, stands as one of the gaming industry’s most influential franchises, with more than 85 million units sold worldwide.

With these enhanced editions, Aspyr continues to bridge the gap between nostalgia and modern gaming, ensuring the adventures originally released on platforms like the PlayStation are now accessible to the Nintendo Switch audience. Players eager to revisit these classic Tomb Raider titles on Switch can look forward to a fresh, updated experience next week.

As speculation grows among collectors, Aspyr's assurance of forthcoming news about a physical release is sure to keep anticipation high.

For now, the digital trilogy will be accessible on February 14, 2025, setting the stage for both nostalgia and discovery for gamers worldwide.
