The incredible response to Tomb Raider I–III Remastered inspired us to go a little deeper for Lara’s next remastered adventure. Thanks to the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from the Tomb Raider community, we’re continuing to enhance the journey for fans with Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered which launches on February 14. This time, we’re introducing exclusive tools and fresh new ways to experience these iconic adventures.
In this article, we’ll dive into some of these exciting new additions—features that redefine how you’ll engage with Lara’s world and cement this remastered trilogy as a labor of love for both the developers and the fans.
Capture every epic moment
Photo Mode is back, and it’s better than ever! Building on the beloved features from the previous trilogy, you’ll still have countless poses to strike and weapons to outfit Lara Croft. This collection features all the Photo Mode resources from the first collection + a slew of new ones for players to discover!
Introducing the Flyby Camera Maker
One of the most exciting additions to Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered is the Flyby Camera Maker, a tool that empowers players to create their own dynamic, cinematic shots. This feature lets you map out a moving camera path through any scene, opening a world of creative possibilities.
Take a look at this video showcasing the new Flyby Camera Maker in action:
As you can see, this tool is incredibly easy to use.
- Simply place up to 20 cameras along a path wherever you like.
- Fine-tune your shots by scrolling through your placed camera points and adjust various settings like; Roll, Field-of-View, Zoom, and movement speed.
- Hit the play button—it’s that easy!
It doesn’t stop there—Lara Croft herself can take center stage.
Using Photo Mode, you can position her within your custom shot, choosing her stance, expression, weapons, and outfit to match the mood and style of the moment.
This tool isn’t just for cinematic enthusiasts—it’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to see the world of Tomb Raider through a filmmaker’s lens.
We’ve been blown away by the vast amount of Photo-Mode creations that the community has shared across the internet, and this is our way of adding onto that. We want to see what you make, so keep on sharing your creations with the community.
Ammo counter
Another new feature designed to enhance your overall gameplay experience! Now, you’ll have a sleek, on-screen display showing the remaining ammo you have for each weapon in your arsenal, ensuring you’re always ready for the next encounter. If you’re managing resources during an intense boss fight or planning your next move, we hope that the Ammo Counter will keep you sharp and in control.
Cutscene skipper
We fully realize that this fan-base is very passionate about playing, and playing, and playing these games over and over again. Thus, we wanted to make it a little easier to get through the chit-chat and jump back into the action – totally up to the player’s choice though, of course! If you want to re-watch that cutscene for the 5th time, more power to you! Maybe you’ll unlock some kind of achievement for that…maybe not. Either way, we hope you enjoy having options!
New animations
Lara Croft’s adventures have always been defined by her agility, elegance, and grace, so in Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, we’ve introduced extra animations that we hope will breathe fresh life into your gameplay experience!
Slide To Run: Continue running after reaching the end of a slope, simply push forwards at the end of a slope. This works with both Tank and Modern control schemes and is toggleable in the Options menu. This was an unused animation from the original games that we’ve restored for the remaster!
Hang on a ledge (behind): Press the Action (for tank) or secondary (for Modern) button when close to a ledge behind Lara and she will safely step down to it.
Hang on a ledge (front): While walking, press the Action (for tank) or secondary (for Modern) button close to a ledge in front of Lara and she will safely step down to it.
Turn around in place: While walking, press the Roll button while Lara is stopped to make her turn in place. This is for Modern controls only!
Classic cheat codes return
Fans of the original games will be thrilled to know that the classic cheat codes are making their return in Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered! Whether it’s infinite ammo, skipping levels, or other nostalgic tricks, every cheat from the original releases will work just as you remember. And if your memory needs a little jog, don’t worry—Aspyr’s support site will have a full list of cheat codes available closer to launch. Time to relive those iconic moments with a little extra flair.
An invitation to revisit and rediscover
With a rich legacy spanning decades, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is more than a collection—it’s an invitation to rediscover the magic of Lara Croft’s formative adventures and share them with a new generation of players.
