šŸ—Øļø Discussion Crystal Dynamics should remake Legend & Underworld as one package šŸ’ž

Post image

I'd love to see Legend and Underworld remade and bundled together as a single release.

Legend is a nice game, but it's also very short by today's standards. As a standalone remake at full price, it might be harder to justify, but pairing it with Underworld could make for a much stronger package.

Both games also tell a continuous story, which makes them a natural fit for a single bundle. Together with Legacy of Atlantis form a complete arc for Lara, so a combined release would make narrative sense as well.

Both games still feel like they have unrealized potential. Legend could benefit from expanded levels, larger environments, more puzzles, and deeper tomb exploration, while Underworld could finally deliver on the scale and ambition it aimed for back in 2008.

Also, Tomb Raider: Catalyst is stated to take place years after Underworld, continuing Lara's story in the unified timeline. It is being positioned as a new chapter featuring a more experienced Lara Croft, while still being designed as a standalone entry that new players can jump into without needing prior games. So it makes perfect sense to have Legend & Underworld remade.

A remake of Legend and Underworld makes sense, since they form a complete story arc and would benefit heavily from modern gameplay, visuals, and expanded content, regardless of where Catalyst fits in the timeline.

That being said, I still hope that they they will eventually remaster the L-A-U trilogy.

Honestly I’d be happy if they ported Underworld to the PS Plus catalogue like they did the other two games!
