It seems that new versions of the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy are on the way, as Microsoft has accidentally leaked the existence of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy. The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy started in the PS3/Xbox 360 generation and continued into the PS4/XBO era.

The reboot trilogy consists of Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. All three games have received Definitive Editions, which include all of the post-release content in one package. These games are playable on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S through backward compatibility, where they benefit from the increased loading speed of the internal SSD used in each system.

A number of games have received enhanced versions that make the most of the advanced hardware present in the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The Tomb Raider trilogy appears to be the next enhancement project in the cards, as a page on the Microsoft Store has revealed the existence of Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy. The page for the game has since been taken down, but the cat is now out of the bag. Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy appears to be a collection of the Definitive Editions of the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy. According to the page, Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy will be released on March 18.

What's interesting about the page is that it referenced 4K and HDR visuals, suggesting that these versions are intended for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. It's unclear if owners of the existing Definitive Editions will get the upgraded games for free. The trilogy already looked impressive as it was, but they'll look even better when played through current-gen hardware. Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy will also include multiplayer modes. It's likely that Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy was meant to be announced during the upcoming 25th-anniversary celebrations for the series, but Microsoft accidentally put the page up early.

The Tomb Raider games offer a ton of value for the price, and people who haven't played them yet should check them out. It's likely that long-time PlayStation/Xbox owners already own the games, considering that they've been on sale numerous times, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider was a PS+ game only a few months ago. The brand new PS5/Xbox Series X owners will benefit the most from this collection, as they'll get the chance to experience some of Lara Croft's best adventures yet in their most impressive forms.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy will be released on March 18, 2021. The platforms have yet to be revealed.
