PlayStation gamers who are fans of the Tomb Raider franchise might have an exciting development to look forward to soon. According to recent indicators, Tomb Raider: Anniversary could be making its way to both PS4 and PS5 systems. The iconic adventure series featuring the legendary Lara Croft has experienced a notable revival in recent times, with several classic titles receiving remastered treatments.

The resurgence began in 2024 with the launch of Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, bringing the original PlayStation trilogy to modern platforms. This was followed earlier this year by the release of Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered. Now, it appears another cherished entry from the series might be preparing for a contemporary comeback.

As the title suggests, Tomb Raider: Anniversary was created to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the massively successful franchise. This reimagining of the original Tomb Raider game follows the globe-trotting archaeologist Lara Croft as she embarks on thrilling adventures to uncover the mysterious Scion of Atlantis. While the game initially received positive reviews from both critics and fans, its commercial performance didn't quite match the critical acclaim, making it the lowest-selling main-series Tomb Raider title. A new development now indicates that Anniversary might be returning to contemporary gaming systems.

According to a report from PushSquare, recent modifications to the PlayStation Network appear to hint at an upcoming release for Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The update includes a comprehensive trophy list for the game on PSN, featuring 26 different Trophies with the notable inclusion of a Platinum Trophy. The trophy collection includes standard achievements for completing the game's story campaign, along with rewards for accomplishing specific challenges such as transforming into a statue and accumulating large quantities of Medipacks. Sony has not made any official announcement regarding the Tomb Raider: Anniversary port, and the Trophy list doesn't provide any specific release date information.

The potential re-release of Tomb Raider: Anniversary would mark another classic installment from the dungeon-exploring franchise becoming accessible on modern PlayStation consoles. Anniversary's appearance on PSN would represent the second entry from the Tomb Raider: Legend trilogy to arrive on the platform, leaving only Tomb Raider: Underworld currently unavailable. Similar to the previous port of Legend, the Anniversary edition is also anticipated to be accessible through the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus.

The return of another classic Tomb Raider game comes at a time when the future direction of the entire franchise remains uncertain. Most recent Tomb Raider releases have consisted of remasters or re-releases of older titles from the series, with 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider standing as the last completely new installment. The Tomb Raider franchise is scheduled to receive its own television adaptation from Amazon, with the studio recently announcing that Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner will portray the role of Lara Croft. While the gaming future of Tomb Raider remains unclear, the re-release of Anniversary will allow fans to revisit another classic chapter in the beloved franchise.
