Square Enix Acting Coy About Next-Gen Tomb Raider Leak
What do you call an HD update when the source material is already HD? Apparently, you call it the “Definitive Edition.” At least that’s what Square Enix is reportedly calling a next-gen Tomb Raider update according to an Amazon Italy leak.
IGN reported the news earlier this week, and Square Enix’s response offers hope that it might be real. A representative told the outlet that fans should keep an eye on “major gaming events happening in December.”
That correlates nicely to VGX, which is taking place on December 7, 2013. Tomb Raider is nominated in five categories, including Game of the Year. You can read our review of it here.

Our Take
We already know that a next-generation sequel to this year’s Tomb Raider reboot is in the works, and given the success of the title, a PS4/Xbox One version might make sense. However, one of the big complaints about the title’s DLC approach is that it was focused exclusively on the lackluster multiplayer. There’s not much that a “complete” version could offer most players beyond improved graphics.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
