Introducing the Flyby Camera Maker
One standout feature in Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the Flyby Camera Maker. This tool gives players the power to craft their own dynamic, cinematic shots by mapping a moving camera path through any scene. It unlocks a world of creative possibilities.

As you can see, this tool is super easy to use. Simply arrange up to 20 cameras along your desired path. Fine-tune your shots by cycling through your camera points, adjusting settings like Roll, Field-of-View, Zoom, and movement speed. Hit play and watch your vision come alive!
But there’s more—Lara Croft herself can be the star of your custom shots.
With Photo Mode, you can position her within your tailor-made scene, selecting her stance, expression, weapons, and outfit to perfectly match the mood you’re aiming for.
This tool isn’t just for aspiring filmmakers—it’s designed for anyone eager to experience the world of Tomb Raider through a cinematic lens. We’ve been blown away by the amazing Photo Mode creations you’ve shared, and we can’t wait to see more. Keep those incredible screenshots coming!
Ammo Counter
We’re also introducing a sleek new feature to enhance your gameplay experience! There’s now an on-screen display showing your remaining ammo for each weapon, ensuring you’re always prepared for action. Whether you’re conserving resources in a tough boss fight or plotting your next move, the Ammo Counter keeps you sharp and in control.
