Cancelled Tomb Raider Remaster Surfaces In Leaked Images

Leaked Images Reveal Canceled Tomb Raider: Anniversary Remaster

Several leaked images offer a glimpse into a scrapped remaster of Tomb Raider: Anniversary, the 2007 remake of the original 1996 title. The project, a collaboration between Crystal Dynamics and Virtuos Shanghai, was reportedly underway in 2019 before being abandoned. The leak, originating from the Infinity Tomb Raider X account via archive.org, showcases unfinished renders.

These renders depict untextured 3D models of interior tomb environments and three wild animals – a mountain lion, gorilla, and bear – reflecting the original game's wilderness survival elements. The images also feature a younger Lara Croft model with more realistic proportions.

The project reportedly involved importing PC assets into modern engines (Xbox One and PS4) and aimed to blend Anniversary's engine with the enhanced engine from 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider. However, development ceased before significant progress was made.

While fans may lament the lost remaster, Crystal Dynamics released Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered last year, a collaboration with Aspyr and Core Design. This release provided a faithful recreation of the original trilogy, albeit a more direct port than a complete overhaul, as noted in Screen Rant's review.

Although the Tomb Raider: Anniversary remaster remains unreleased, the leaked images provide a fascinating "what if" scenario, showcasing a potential alternative to the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered release. Fans can still enjoy the Netflix Lara Croft animated series, set within the same universe as the Survivor trilogy, while awaiting the next main installment in the franchise.
