About

This is an emulation of the classic PS2 action-adventure title, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, playable on PS4 and PS5 for the first time and enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a third-person action-adventure game that revisits Lara Croft’s original journey to recover the Scion artifact. It reimagines the 1996 title with updated environments, refined controls, and expanded narrative elements while maintaining the exploration, platforming, and combat of the original game.

Lara Croft has been hired by a mysterious woman named Natla to find a lost and very powerful artifact known as the Scion, a mystical artifact said to originate on the lost continent of Atlantis. She believes the Scion to be a repository of ancient knowledge that can help solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance
