So, well, for Tomb Raider fans, better hold on to your hats because the remasters of Tomb Raider IV to VI are undergoing intensive overhauling TOMORROW. That’s right, mark your calendars-April 18 is the date they release the patch, which has a lot of new features, including new outfits, improved Photo Mode, brightness adjustment, and upgraded character models. Count me for all of it.
The official patch notes have gone live, but let’s break it down for the ones who really want to know the juicy stuff. First, new gear for Lara Croft. While the actress’s wardrobe has always been known, there are now greater choices to style her even more. From old-school styles to something new and snazzy, this update covers it all.
Then, we have improvements in Photo Mode. If you happen to be one of those gamers who play around with staging that perfect screenshot far more than playing, this is the moment for you. More filters; better angles; and probably a few lighting tweakers to make those action shots pop.
Oh, and by the way: lighting brightening options! Ditch the squinting in dark areas and star-seeing caused by sudden bright sunlight. Adjust it to your heart’s content.
However, the crowning jewel is upgraded character models. These remasters really have much to live up to in already making these classics face lifts, but it can now be polished much more.
Expect smoothened animations and sharper details with just a much cleaner overall look. It’s like a fresh coat of paint over a classic muscle car while all the horsepower stays intact.
Now, Aspyr’s tweet didn’t just drop news and leave. Clever-because, let’s be real. Who wouldn’t want to be first in line when it drops? They hiked it up with an emoji of the bell, telling the fans to turn on notifications for them to know when the drop kicks off.
And yeah, the replies section is… suspiciously empty? Where’s the hype train? Maybe everybody is busy replaying the remasters rather than tweeting. Or they are all just waiting to breathe once tomorrow comes. Such an update is clearly going to create waves among Tomb Raider fans.
What do you think? Get ready, then, because if you’re already balls deep into these remasters, you’ll want to watch for that patch notification. Otherwise, jump right in. The world is about to get even better for a very good package.
More Lara Croft, prettier. Well, that ranks pretty high on the scoreboard for us, so if you’re still sitting on the fence, think about it.
Now head on over and witness the notifications and do the set up. Tomorrow is going to be one really good tomb-raiding day.
