What's Happening?
A trophy list for a PS4 version of the 2007 game Tomb Raider: Anniversary has surfaced online, indicating a potential re-release. The list appeared on the PlayStation trophy tracking site, True Trophies, but lacks the number of trophies typical of a modern remaster. This suggests it may be a straightforward port rather than part of a new remastered collection by Aspyr. The leak aligns with the style of other games released for Sony's classics catalogue, characterized by fewer trophies and specific image designs. Despite this, there is no official confirmation from Aspyr regarding a new remastered collection, leaving room for speculation.
Why It's Important?
The potential re-release of Tomb Raider: Anniversary on PS4 could attract fans of the franchise, which has been a significant part of gaming history since its debut nearly 30 years ago. Lara Croft, the protagonist, became an iconic figure in early 3D gaming. A re-release could renew interest in the series and introduce it to a new generation of gamers. However, the lack of a full remaster might disappoint those hoping for enhanced graphics and features. Additionally, legal action by Françoise Cadol against Aspyr Media for AI-generated use of her voice in remasters highlights ongoing ethical concerns in the gaming industry.
