Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics have announced the release date for Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, arriving soon on the Nintendo Switch.
Continuing from where the revisiting of the original trilogy, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, left off, this new release further delves into the adventures of the much-loved British archaeologist, Lara Croft, with the next three exciting installments.
Fans of the series will recognize these as the Darkness Trilogy, featuring:

Tomb Raider: Chronicles – Picking up after The Last Revelation, this chapter presents a somber moment as Lara is thought to be dead, buried in an Egyptian tomb. Her closest allies gather to remember her and uncover some of her past secrets during her memorial.
- Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness – Here, we find Lara accused of murder, becoming a fugitive while unraveling a tangled web of alchemical experiments and the search for powerful ancient artifacts.
