Tomb Raider Legend Collection Remaster Teased by Official Franchise Account: Potential Next Step After Trilogy Success

Tomb Raider fans have fresh cause for excitement as the franchise's official X (formerly Twitter) account has begun posting content suggesting that a remastered collection of the Tomb Raider Legend-era games could be on the horizon.

This anticipated collection, if confirmed, would follow the positive reception and commercial success of both Tomb Raider Trilogy I-III Remastered and the recently announced Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered editions.

These remastered bundles have brought the storied adventures of Lara Croft to new audiences and platforms, including the Nintendo Switch and eShop. The Tomb Raider Legend series, originally developed by Crystal Dynamics, marked a significant evolution in gameplay and narrative for the franchise beginning with the release of Tomb Raider: Legend in 2006.

The series continued with Tomb Raider: Anniversary in 2007—a faithful reimagining of the 1996 original—and concluded with Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008.

These titles were lauded for revitalizing Lara Croft's character and providing fresh gameplay mechanics that appealed to both long-time fans and a new generation of players. Over the past several weeks, vigilant followers of the franchise's official X account have noted a series of posts and media snippets highlighting moments and themes from the Legend-era games.

While no official remaster announcement has been made, the account's activity has led many in the gaming community to anticipate the collection as the logical next step, especially in light of the company's proven strategy of bringing classic Lara Croft adventures to modern platforms. In a recent series of social media updates, the Tomb Raider team emphasized their awareness of fan interest.

"We recognize the community’s enthusiasm for a Legend collection, and we love seeing the ongoing conversation," the account stated in one of its posts, which was widely interpreted as a nod to ongoing development or consideration.

Industry analysts have observed that these signals often precede formal reveals during major gaming events such as Nintendo Direct presentations, aligning with the release strategies for past remaster announcements. The prior Tomb Raider remastered collections launched across multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, where they received strong support from eShop users and performed well in sales rankings.

Tomb Raider Trilogy I-III Remastered debuted in February 2024 to positive reviews, praised for its upscaled graphics and faithful preservation of the original experiences.

The upcoming Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is expected to follow suit, further solidifying Crystal Dynamics' commitment to maintaining the franchise’s legacy. While the official release timing for a Tomb Raider Legend Collection Remaster has yet to be confirmed, the pattern of engagement and explicit acknowledgment of fan demand suggest that the franchise is poised to continue its remaster streak.

Should the collection be greenlit and announced, it will likely include Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld—three of the most pivotal entries in the series—and make its way to popular platforms like the Nintendo Switch and eShop, further expanding Lara Croft’s enduring reach in the gaming world.
