Shiny Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition trailer

published 17 January 2014

When we caught word that Tomb Raider was being rebooted, we reacted much like any other fanboy: "A Tomb Raider reboot?!", we all scoffed, theatrically spraying our tea over the office. "Ha!"

Our fears were misplaced. One of the best action games of 2013, Lara's adventure managed to blend a brilliant story with some excellent gameplay - without tarnishing our love of the original games.

Having learnt our lesson, we were duly excited by Square Enix's announcement of a Definitive Edition for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One: a thorough polishing, tweaking and perfecting of an already great title. Vanquish your doubts by watching the splendid announcement trailer.

Tomb Raider: Definite Edition arrives on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 31 January
