The overwhelming response to the remaster of Tomb Raider I-III was a game-changer for us and sparked the desire to dig even deeper for Lara’s upcoming remastered saga. Thanks to the passionate enthusiasm from the Tomb Raider community, we’ve been inspired to enhance this legendary series with the upcoming Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, set to be released on February 14. This time around, we’re rolling out exclusive tools and innovative ways to immerse yourself in these timeless adventures.
In this article, we’re diving into some of these captivating new features, redefining how you’ll interact with Lara’s world. This enhanced trilogy serves as both a love letter to the fans and a testament to the dedication of the developers.
Capture Every Epic Moment
Photo Mode is making a triumphant return, now better than ever! Building on the cherished features of the previous trilogy, you’ll find plenty of poses and gear to deck out Lara Croft. This latest collection incorporates all the resources from the first, with a treasure trove of new ones just waiting to be discovered by players.
Say Hello to the Flyby Camera Maker
One of the standout features of Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the Flyby Camera Maker. This tool gives players the power to create their own cinematic, dynamic shots. It allows you to lay out a moving camera path in any scene, sparking endless creative possibilities.
Check out this video to see the Flyby Camera Maker in action:
As you can see, the tool is incredibly user-friendly. You simply place up to 20 cameras along a path of your choosing. Fine-tune your shots by tweaking camera settings like Roll, Field-of-View, Zoom, and movement speed. Just hit play and watch the magic unfold!
But it doesn’t stop there—Lara herself can be the star. With Photo Mode, you can pose her within your bespoke shot, selecting her stance, expression, weapons, and outfit that best capture the scene’s mood. This tool isn’t just for aspiring filmmakers; it’s for anyone intrigued by seeing Tomb Raider through a cinematic lens.
We’ve been floored by the abundance of Photo Mode creations shared by the community online. This addition encourages you to keep that creativity flowing—share your new masterpieces with us!
