At the VGX 2013 award show, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix announced Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, a next-gen version of the 2013 Tomb Raider for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game is scheduled for release on January 31, 2014.

The PS4 and Xbox One version of Tomb Raider is a fully re-built version of the game with Crystal Dynamics saying the next-gen version will feature an obsessively detailed Lara and a fully realised lifelike world. The full list of features can be found below

Lara Croft presented in unprecedented high definition detail:

  • An all new Lara model created to take advantage of the power of next-gen consoles
  • TRESS FX technology that delivers realistic hair simulation and motion with every strand being physically active
  • Shader and lighting reworked to showcase the raw physicality of Lara’s journey through sweat, mud, and blood materials and effects

A physical world put in motion thanks to brand new hardware architecture:

  • The world has been dynamically brought to life using complex physical world simulation on trees, foliage, cloth, weather, lighting and effects
  • All texture resolutions have been created at 4x resolution for maximum resolution and detail
  • In-game characters, enemies and destructibility have been enhanced for added depth and realism
  • Subsurface scattering technology implemented to capture the most physically accurate lighting simulation and deliver a great sense of believability
  • Native 1080p gameplay gives outstanding visual fidelity and showcases the beauty of Yamatai in all its high definition glory
