Tomb Raider is coming to Evercade!
The first three Tomb Raider games are coming to an Evercade Cartridge!
Today we’re delighted to announce a new partnership with Crystal Dynamics to bring this great franchise to Evercade fans with Tomb Raider Collection 1. These classic titles from the 32-bit era will be available as part of our new “Giga Cart” format of cartridges, which allows for increased capacity for more recent or CD-based retro games such as Tomb Raider and its sequels.
It’s amazing to be able to bring the iconic character, recently voted by BAFTA in the UK as the most iconic video game character of all time, to our family of Evercade cartridges!
Tomb Raider is the game that defined an entire era of 3D gaming and the start of the classic era of Lara Croft’s adventures. Originally released in 1996, this adventure introduced the world to Lara with its exotic landscapes and mythological treasures alongside the genre-defining platforming and puzzle-solving gameplay.
Sequels Tomb Raider II Starring Lara Croft and Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft, from 1997 and 1998 respectively, are also included in this collection in their original 32-bit console form. The games feature many locations from around the world and are offered on Evercade as the complete games as they were when first released.
Tomb Raider Collection 1 will be cartridge number #40 of our red console line and marks the biggest franchise we’ve had to date. That also includes the literal size of these three games.
With this being a “Giga Cart”, Evercade’s newest increased capacity cartridge, the price for this collection will be £22.49, $24.99, or €24.99 when purchased individually. The cartridge will be available in July 2024 and pre-orders open on April 30th, 2024.
Tomb Raider Collection 1 will also be available bundled with the latest refresh of our hardware lineup, the Evercade VS-R and Evercade EXP-R. These consoles are also due for release on July 31st, 2024, and are available to pre-order from April 30th, 2024. Evercade EXP-R will retail for £99.99, $99.99 and €119.99 and Evercade VS-R will retail for £89.99, $99.99 and €109.99.
