3D artist remakes Tomb Raider 2 environments + screenshots for Tomb Raider The Dagger Of Xian Remake

Back in September 2017, we informed you about the fan tech demo remake of the second Tomb Raider game in Unreal Engine 4, Tomb Raider The Dagger Of Xian. Created by Nicobass, that demo showcased what Tomb Raider 2 could look like in a modern-day engine. And today, we’ve got some more cool stuff for all Tomb Raider fans out there.

After almost one year of silence, Nicobass shared two new screenshots showing Lara Croft’s Manor. At this point, we don’t know whether Nicobass will release another tech demo for his Tomb Raider 2 Remake in Unreal Engine 4 that will allow player to explore this recreated manor. Still, and similarly to the original 2017 version of Tomb Raider The Dagger Of Xian, these screenshots look absolutely gorgeous which is why we’ve decided to share them with you.

On the other hand, 3D artist Elijah Bulgakov has shared a video showing remakes of some Tomb Raider 2 environments. Bulgakov came really close to the original material and these new environments look absolutely beautiful. Elijah Bulgakov claimed that this demo reel was created prior to him joining the Tomb Raider 2 Remake team (which basically means that there is no plan right now to feature these levels in Tomb Raider The Dagger Of Xian).

Bulgakov has also shared on his ArtStation page some objects he created for the Croft Manor (that are most likely used in Nicobass’ screenshots we shared) so it will be interesting to see whether a new tech demo will be released.

It’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, Nicobass stated that he’ll work at the end of the level and the Croft Manor if the demo receives positive feedback. Needless to say that this fan remake of Tomb Raider 2 has been praised by – pretty much – everyone so a new tech demo does sound possible.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

    1. If you look at youtube for the gameplay of this demo you can find some gay guy playing saying “she is so gorgeous” and how much he likes her look.

      Compare that to what feminists have done to female characters in games nowadays, in fact i am replaying rage now , compare the female characters in rage 1 with rage 2….. does anyone actually like the way they look in rage 2?

      1. A gay guy likes a half-dressed women. That is something that will confuse the feminists and the sjw, all those who complain about tiddies in video games.
        I wouldn’t blame him, though, i loved Lara’s original design back in the day. Yes, even the pixeled one.
        Though, i like her new clothes. Pants and a simple tank top. I didn’t liked her face in the 2013 reboot, they fixed her face in ROTTR and TR : Definitive Edition.
        I played Rage 1 a few years ago on Xbox, don’t really remember half of it.
        I kinda do remember that girl who offers you the first wingstick, she looked good, she had that post-apocalyptic feeling, along with the rest of the npc’s. I haven’t played Rage 2 yet, but i doubt they really focused on how the npc’s look.

      2. I don’t even remember any females in Rage 1 but to be fair I’;ve never played past the first real mission after the first time you drive and get attacked in the car. I remember there being that one girl in the first town.

  1. Classic Tomb Raider fans taking the matters in their own hands while Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics sit with their dicks in their hands.

    1. isnt that what doom fans did with brutal doom and id software finally “got it” and made the game the fans wanted?

      1. Mostly except Doom 2016 wasn’t really the game we wanted. Nothing but easy combat and industrial soundboard metal set in the equivalent of Outworld. Brutal Doom was a much better game.

  2. I still prefer the ROTR base Lara, with tactical adjustments to the outfit.
    Classic outfit has virtually no space for storage. it’s better suited as an additional costume to select.

    1. I second the motion! Better yet, shouldn’t we, avid Tomb Raider fans, start a petition demanding they release remakes of the first four games with Nicobass as the lead designer? Think about it… That would be like rewriting history! I, for one, am all for it. How about the rest of you?
