Now here is something that passed under my radar. In 2023, AngelOfDarkness released a free remake of the first Tomb Raider game, called Tomb Raider Redux. This fan remake is still available for download, so make sure to get it while you still can.
Going into more details, AngelOfDarkness has re-made and re-imagined the first Tomb Raider game in Tomb Raider Level Editor. This fan remake combines elements of Core’s unreleased Anniversary Edition with Crystal Dynamic’s Tomb Raider Anniversary. So, think of it as a cool mix between them. Moreover, it packs a number of original ideas.
As you’ll see in the following gameplay video, this remake is all about gameplay refinements. Lara’s movements have been overhauled, and the game plays a lot better. This remake does not focus on improving the game’s graphics. So, don’t expect any fancy Ray Tracing effects. Still, compared to the first game, Lara’s 3D model has been improved. So that’s at least something.
Anyway, those interested can go ahead and download Tomb Raider Redux from this link. Embracer Group currently owns the rights to Tomb Raider. And, given what’s been happening lately, I don’t expect them to take it down. Still, I suggest grabbing it immediately. You never know what may happen in a month or two.
TR fans can also try Tomb Raider Caves HD Remaster Project. This is a fan remake of the Caves map from the first game in the Tomb Raider 4 Engine. Oh, there is also a Super Mario 64 Mod you can download for Tomb Raider.
Speaking of Tomb Raider, the first RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod has been released for its original 1996 version. While this mod is still in development, it can give you a glimpse at how Path Tracing can overhaul its graphics. However, as with all the RTX Remix Mods we’ve shared, it’s quite demanding. So, make sure to have a high-end GPU, otherwise you might encounter performance issues.
Finally, you can check out the first artwork for Lara Croft for the new Tomb Raider game. This new TR game will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and it will target current-gen platforms. Sadly, though, there is no ETA on when it will come out. Still, these artworks will give you an idea of what Lara may look like.
Stay tuned for more!

Not bad, but I really don’t see why would anybody play this over the recently released remaster, which is a massive improvement in every way possible. 🤔
I’ll take the RTX Remix over the remaster.
Yeah, it’s a cool project but a bit pointless now with the remaster.
I guess at least this doesn’t use magnetized autoplatforming like the TR2 remake.
Hmm… Very hmm indeed!
there are as many of these tomb raider custom maps as there are for doom nothing impressive about this.
The model for Lara looks off… like a fake 2000’s bimbo look to her. Her bottom half seems oddly disproportionate to her torso and the weird camera bob makes it have a shaky-cam quality that I do not like.
I guess someone could play this, but the fact that the official Remaster of the first three games are out and for only $18… I don’t see why you’d go with “dude in his mom’s basement remade this in a level editor” version over the official one made by professionals. I finished Tomb Raider 1 Remastered the other day and am in the middle of two and being able to toggle between the classic graphics and modern are one of the MANY reasons why it’s a great Remastered Collection. Just play the real game, you’ll be very happy with it!
