Tomb Raider 4 – 6 Remastered will reuse unused sounds from Angel of Darkness, and make some real life changes to Kurtis Trent’s abilities.
Tomb Raider 4 – 6 Remastered includes Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999), Tomb Raider: Chronicles (2000), and – of course – Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (2003). As with the first batch of remastered Tomb Raider games, each of the next three games will feature improved visuals that bring new life to the environment, characters, and artifacts. There will be an option to switch between classic and modern graphics, like with Tomb Raider 1 – 3 Remastered.
The Tomb Raider team has now released some additional changes and tweaks specifically for Angel of Darkness, the series’ widely recognized entry from the early 2000s. Maybe these changes will allow the Angel of Darkness to rise from the ashes like a phoenix reborn..?
Let’s start with Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness’ Kurtis Trent, who is playable for a short part of the game. Tomb Raider 4 – 6 Remastered will return Kurtis’ ability to handle Chirugai in-game. He will also be able to create a mental shield around himself, shoot around corners while making his way in stealth mode, and run like Lara does. Huzzah!
Meanwhile, the remaster team has brought back some unused voices from Lara Croft herself and Kurtis. These lines will be able to provide players with “more details” about what is happening, which should help them “to understand the story better”.
These additional discussion articles will also provide a few additional points here and there.
Other quality improvements pegged to Angel of Darkness include Werner Von Croy’s Notebook now open for the first time Lara wakes up in an illegal carriage, with the notebook getting a new entry as well game progress.
“In addition, some products have returned, such as Von Croy’s cane, which holds a secret that can only be opened in the inventory,” teases the Tomb Raider 4 – 6 Remastered team.

As for the original trilogy, on its release last year, we gave Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered four stars, while confirming some of the stars.
“I still like this collection, because it is carefully designed and updated, but also not well done, elbows, annoying and disappointing me. It is a collection that understands that Tomb Raider is really a game about its controls, and it still needs to be. – even if it doesn’t know how to deliver on that,” our Donlan wrote in Eurogamer’s Tomb Raider 1- 3 Remastered reviews.
