PlayStation Celebrates 25 Years of Lara Croft on Twitter

British archaeologist Lara Croft, turns 25 this year and PlayStation celebrated her birthday on Twitter. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider video game series launched its first title way back in 1996. British studio Core Design were the original creators of this series.

However, after Square Enix took over Eidos Interactive, the company behind Core Design, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider became a PlayStation exclusive for a few years. PlayStation posted about Tomb Raider today on their Twitter and it made the fans nostalgic.

Many from the community came forward with their best moments from the franchise. To date, Lara Croft has 18 titles to her name, spanning over two decades. Therefore, multiple fan posts are about the older titles, especially the ones from PlayStation 1.

Similarly, other PlayStation 1 games are also getting their time in the sun. Games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and of course, Tony Hawk. These revivals make one remember what Stephen King once said, “Sooner or later, everything old is new again.”

New Lara Croft title in 2021 will not be on PlayStation

Aaron Greenberg, General Manager of Microsoft Studios marketing group, spoke about the series back in 2015.

“The challenge with Tomb Raider is if you go a week later you’re against Star Wars Battlefront, if you go a week earlier you’re against Call of Duty Black Ops III; you go two weeks earlier you’re against Halo 5. And then you go late and then you’re like well, ‘Does the consumer have money left to buy the game?’ So there wasn’t a better scenario for us except that was the week it wasn’t going head-to-head against Call of Duty or Star Wars Battlefront.”

With some classics like Lara Croft, genre fatigue is never a thing. There are talks about a new Tomb Raider game for 2021, and the response to PlayStation’s post should delight the studio devs .

The new title, Tomb Raider Reloaded, is going to be an action-arcade game for Android and iOS devices. Emerald City Games and Square Enix London are reportedly working on this new venture, and the game is going to be a free-to-play title.
